Just one New York

I recently discovered Wordle.  Wordle a fascinating little site that is, to say the least, incredibly addictive... particularly for word nerds like me and David Cook.

The premise of Wordle, according to the site, is that it's "a toy for generating 'word clouds' from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text."

I know it doesn't sound that exciting, but it is!  Just for fun, I copied over all of the text from my "I heart NY" posts...below is the Wordle that was generated (you can click it for a larger view). 



I love my Wordle.  I love that, just after "New York," "love" is the next most-used word.  And I really love to imagine that as Worldle generated the image, it envisioned the large, most-used cluster of words on the left as reading,

"even if it's your first time, 
you know 
that there is just one New York."

More Wordles to come.  :)
