Participatory Visualization with Wordle
http://www.research.ibm.com/visual/papers/wordle_final2.pdf
Participatory Visualization with Wordle
We discuss the design and usage of “Wordle,” a web-based tool for visualizing text.
Wordle creates tag-cloud-like displays that give careful attention to typography, color, and composition. We describe the algorithms used to balance various aesthetic criteria and create the distinctive Wordle layouts.
We then present the results of a study of Wordle usage, based both on spontaneous behaviour observed in the wild, and on a large-scale survey of Wordle users. The results suggest that Wordles have become a kind of medium of expression, and that a “participatory culture” has arisen around them.

Using Wordle in the classroom (1 of 2)
Text-analysis and visualization applications are terrific teaching tools!
I firmly believe that Wordles are the gateway drug to getting students interested in textual analysis.
In a word cloud, the most frequently used words are the largest words in the display, while words used less frequently are displayed in a smaller font. It’s so very simple, yet so very useful.
