Using Wordle

ReadWriteWeb ran the full text of the inauguration addresses of President Obama, President Bush's 2005 speech, President Clinton's second address, Ronald Reagan's first address, and both of Abraham Lincoln's through Wordle. Since Wordle basically does a word count and displays the most frequently used words in the largest type, this is an interesting way to analyze the content of the speeches.

That is such a cool use of wordle! It shows the emphasis of the speeches over time. So interesting to see how the focus has shifted over time. Thanks for sharing that.
