Lorem ipsum data visualization

18 February 2008 by Peter

Stumbled across this tool for creating word tree visualizations the other day. Fascinating, but I haven’t yet figured out what word trees would be good for. I suppose I could use them on my writing to analyze my style… to see if I use the same words or turns of phrase over and over.

So I was playing with word trees using the good old “lorem ipsum” text. But I don’t think that this classic (five centuries old!) piece of nonsense text, used to get people to focus on design rather than content, is quite the right thing for a word tree. Not long enough so not enough words that repeat. And no meaning! Still, looks neat.

Sidebar: gotta love the handy Lorem Ipsum generator!
