Wordle: What Tweets mentioning Obama Talk aboutJanuary 27 2009
This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Twitter Search Wordles

Obama makes me jealous of Americans. Please go read a few posts on India Uncut to see why.

So, here is the Wordle of all the words used in the last 1,500 tweets containing the word Obama. I removed the words “Barack” and “President” to give a clearer picture:

I’m not American, and know zilch about American politics, so won’t say anything. Quite an illuminationg one, I’d say.

P.S: Suggestions for other Twitter Search Wordles welcome :)

Who talks What to Mona on TwitterJanuary 19 2009
This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series Twitter Search Wordles

Starting off another series of Wordles and starting off again with Mona :)

As you should have guessed from the Title, this time I am going to analyse replies to Mona – to be more precise, tweets containing either @mona or @monaaa (she changed her twitter handle recently). I could only take the last 1,500 replies, since that is the limit Twitter Search allows me (anyone know anyway I could extend this to go farther back?)

Wordle

Here is the wordle:

Lots of Retweets (126 of them), quite a few bacon tweets (71 of them), 49 Thanks tweets, 85 like tweets & 42 tweets about the iPhone

The Entire Louis Gray GReader LeaderboardJanuary 16 2009
This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series GReader Shared Items Leaderboard

image When I posted Scoble’s GReader Leaderboard I included a spreadsheet that contained the entire list, rather than just the first ten sites. So here is the same one for Louis Gray – the leaderboard for the last 5000 shares and 10,000 shares: html version | ajaxy version

This will probably go on with every leaderboard I produce.

Update: Added data for the last 1000 shares as well :)

Site back upJanuary 15 2009

Sorry for the downtime folks, a single Retweet from Scoble crashed it. He still hasn’t answered my questions though :) (Guess he is too busy tracking the Steve Jobs story)

End of Twitter Wordles on The StatbotJanuary 15 2009
This entry is part 10 of 10 in the series Twitter Wordles

No more Twitter Wordles on the Statbot.

Why?

Because as Damon Cortesi (@dacort) who made the totally awesome Tweetstats site informed me, this feature has been built right into Tweetstats for quite some time! Just go check your stats (here’s mine), and go to the Tag Cloud and click on the “Make a wordle!” link at the bottom right. Works schweet :)

Doesn’t mean there won’t be any wordles though!
