Word cloud visualization of ISPR Presence News and Presence-L post titles

To provide a visual summary of what readers can find in ISPR Presence News items, we’ve used IBM’s Many Eyes software to create a word cloud based on the titles of the nearly 3,500 announcement posts on the Presence-L listserv from July 1999 to January 2010 and ISPR Presence News from January 2010 to July 1, 2011. The full-sized version of the word cloud can be found here; the list of titles used to generate the visualization are here (note that “Presence-related,” “News,” and “Call” were removed for the cloud). Please let us know what you think in the comments section for this post.
