@sixapart - Making a Wordle From Your Twitter
April 29, 2009
Did you know? You can see what your most frequently Tweeted words are with Tweetstats, and it'll build you a cloud of those words. Our most frequent? TypePad, Movable, Type, blog, and (our current favorite URL shortening service) icanhaz.
Then from there, you can build a Wordle from your most frequently Tweeted words to put on your blog. Cool!
This is so cool! Thanks!

"Wordle" (Wordling?)is a very fun thing that I've done a couple times, once soon-to-be twice at my blog, http://foreverafangirl/. The finished product is quite personalized and informative.
Great topic!
Here's my Battlestar Galactica-heavy Wordle from a just over a month ago
http://cyncity.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c9e5b53ef01127975a01d28a4-pi/.
I have some posts that I need to get written for my blog right now but after I get some fresh content it's would be great to do another Wordle again. Typepad has recently added the awesome Twitter box--yay or nay--and I always share my posts. Did I mention that Worldles are fun to do? Great topic!
I have one question though. Who is behind the giant "icanhaz" on TypePad's Wordle? Am I missing a huge topic here on TypePad? ;)

This is a great idea!

it's the URL shortening service we'd been using lately, but we're going to be changing it up. I think bit.ly is good too, but there's been some discussion of what everyone's favorite is. Any suggestions are welcome!

I just tried this...very fun. It is also interesting to see the trends of my blog defined by this Wordle grouping.
As for the shortened URL's, I use www.BudURL.com. It allows you up to track 25 hits for free per URL.
