I spend a lot of time on Twitter as you can see from the graphic below. I find the word ‘cloud’ interesting. It can be interpreted in a number of ways. Here are some combinations that immediately spring to mind:
People know right stuff
People think seesmic crap
Twitter people know crap
Check stuff
People want time
Time check
Thanks Twitter people
People make link
People make stuff
Thanks people
Sam Lawrence looks at this as well. Earlier, he created my one and two-word tag cloud based on this blog. Again some interesting combinations:
The one word cloud is shown above.
The two-word visualization is particularly fascinating. It seems that on this blog I am more interested in the ‘business’ end of discussions whereas my Twitterestream skews towards people related issues with some business specific references. That shouldn’t be a surprise because Twitter provides me with a real-time social network where the emphasis is on communication between people in real time. This blog on the other hand addresses the anonymous reader at a different level of abstraction. Even so, there are plenty of identified ‘people’ references. The two mediums are complementary ways of understanding how people interact.
