About a year ago, I did a blog on Wordle -- a java applet that generates a word cloud – a visual depiction of words that appear from a site's source text.  I thought it would be interesting to do a follow-up to see how my blog is transitioning based on keywords - the results are very interesting.

MacDonald Consulting has morphed into to a social media blog with concentration on strategic content strategy.

Here is the original content from that earlier blog - along with the original Word Cloud followed by the Word Cloud created today.

To get Wordle to work, go to their site and enter a URL with an RSS feed. The result is an amazing visual montage based on prominent or frequently used words. 

The tool offers a variety of effects and fonts which you can randomize or colorize simply by clicking a button.  Moreover, Wordle lets you print out the text montage or visualizations, save them as PDF or to a public gallery for multiple use.
