I'm glad you like it. It's kind of rough around the edges yet, so let me know if you run into any trouble. Cool! I’m glad you like it.

Jason, that is freaking amazing. I'm still taking it in and poking around, but this is very exciting, and not only provides visualization, but the data on frequency is astounding. And thanks for sharing the code! Gonna be tinkering with some feed collections. Wow.

As you compare one time frame with another, it animates the words to show how their frequencies change. You can also compare different authors. Clicking a word gives you access to all the posts that used it. Right now, it uses the feeds from <a href="http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2008/06/top-50-p-12-edu.html" rel="nofollow">Scott McLeod's</a> list of the top 50 edublogs as ranked by Technorati, so you're in there :) Well, it’s four months later, but I did finally get around to finishing that time-aware tagcloud.

Since I have full feeds, those prominent wordle words are heavily weighted from the first post. But yes, I could devolve into CogDogTiggerEeyoreBlog. Your idea is very cool and I am absolutely interested. I really dig when someone codes my ideas ;-) Actually Jason the blog post came first.

So now, it may be even <em>more</em>prominently featured. A naive blogger who kept doing new clouds might keep this positive feedback loop going for a while, each new post commenting on how that crazy business about Eeyore and Tigger keeps just getting bigger :) OK, geeky amusement now out of my system. Anyway, I wanted to mention that I've had similar ideas about tracking the changes in word use in feeds over time, and the presenting them in a tag cloud. In my spare time, I've been working on a PHP script to do just that. I'll give you a shout and link to the source code when I finish it.

Is that possible as I've seen so many websites having their recent posts with images. I don't know how to reach you and this is the best platform available. Alan,
