wordle - Pinela's garden

Bem, utilizei a ferramenta do wordle
http://www.wordle.net
para analisar o meu blog e aparentemente eu escrevo "foi" muitas vezes (e agora mais uma).
Assim como "the", "mais", "não", "mas", "muito".
Pronto, viver e aprender. Muito! :)

-- ============================= --

Well, switching to english now, for context.
I came across wordle in this article by a NYT journalist:
http://www.niemanlab.org/2011/10/word-clouds-considered-harmful/

To quickly explain his feelings about word clouds, here is a quote from the article: "Every time I see a word cloud presented as insight, I die a little inside.". Enough said.
He suggests alternativa display methods for word frequency, like the article in the NYT about graduation speeches:
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/06/10/education/commencement-speeches-graphic.html

Yes, the visualization, is really good.
The NYT journalists are effectively very good in visualizations. They have won several prizes.

And yes, I should remove the "stop words" from my word cloud, to get some more insight on topics, and less on used words. :)
