Catch me in my Cloud...


Not last year, but the year before last year, some people were discussing the possible usefulnessesses and merituses of word/search clouds. I applaud them and the little information adventure they've sent me on. Thanks neural.it

Whistling through the snippets of the Porter Stemming Algorithm, reading of mysteriously named people like Chirag Metha and the awesome Tag Generator, redigesting the potential impact of examining presidential speech clouds...can you see the possibility? the potential impact?

Let's revolutionise understanding and education, let's generate clouds of philosophers, prophets, sceptics, scientists - Shakespeare, Sarthe, Nostradamus and Einstein - see what they said, what they meant to say, what they never knew they were saying - in seconds, in clouds - a visual input, an organising of informational chaos in the literal blink of the digestive human eye.

Open source this cloud generation software - free it from the php boundaries that are between clouds and the common Man - let's cloud our texts for children's classes, cloud our media channels output to reveal their biases, cloud a company to reveal it's true focus...
