    Woah cool. And of course the number 1 word used by both of them was America/n.

    it is interesting that in Obama’s speech the words John and McCain are frequently used however that isn’t the case in McCain’s cloud. I often wonder about the claims made about negative campaigning, if this is perhaps evident of a more subtle negative approach.

    More interesting, is that in the age of the internet and readily available data visualization software we have a greater understanding (transparency) of the inner-workings of politics. Years ago this kind of analysis would take a great deal longer to make it into the public.

    Yeah, I find the whole process fascinating. I didn’t even think about the fact that McCain didn’t mention Obama’s name much…I wonder if all of this is intentional?

    That Neoformix person has lots of really interesting stuff on his site if you click on the banner. I like the Einstein image entirely created with the word Genius in Impact font.

    Apparently, some of the tools used for these images can be found here:
