War of the Words

Posted by calpolysjpme on June 22, 2009

I was bored and stumbled upon www.wordle.net which is a toy for generating “word clouds” from any text. So, I picked one of our article “Who won Iran’s Election” to generate its word cloud. As you can see below, Ahmadinejad and election were used more frequently than any other word.  Mousavi was the second most frequently used word and if you add his first name Mir-Hossein it tallies up to Ahmadinejad’s total.

The words used in the article "Who won Iran's election? The bigger the word, the more frequently it's been used"
