Wordle

13 Things Blog

Wordle: 13 Things Wordle

This word cloud gave me an incredible insight into the words that I tend to reuse over and over again in my blog.  This is a very helpful tool to visually see the words, and also to come up with a wider variety of vocabulary to incorporate into my 13 Things.

Gladiator Speech

Wordle: Our Deepest Fear

Doing the Wordle for the Gladiator speech was very interesting, because I did not realize that some of the words were used so frequently.  I like the fact that they emphasize the size of the words that are used more than once.

I really enjoyed using this tool as a way to visually see themes being represented in my work and others. It also allows me to see the words that I tend to repeat in my blog.  This is a nice way to change up your style of writing so it doesn't make you sound so redundant.  It almost forces you to expand your vocabulary and actively use a thesaurus to come up with new words to use.  This can be used easily in a professional setting especially if you are constantly writing documents for work.  I plan on using this in the near future if my word usage becomes a problem.
