I've found some cool text analysis visualization tools on the web and thought I'd share a couple:
Some of my favorites didn't allow me to enter text. But perhaps one other person will think these are "cool"
Logos 5 ? [H]
OK, these mean nothing to me.. guess I am so yesterday too :P
I thought it would be interesting if someone would publish an electronic bible that offered a timeline, perhaps like this [there used to be a much better one where you could drag along a timeline at the bottom, but that seems to be gone now]. Alternatively, perhaps a library view that would show articles that discussed a point/era in time...although that would be pretty hard to put together.
An alternative graphical means of communicating weighted importance is this. Perhaps something like it could replace the wordle that shows words in different colors/sizes, yet doesn't seem to have a great deal of linguistic logic behind why it generates what it does.
With the rich metadata packed into some Logos resources, many things are possible. However, like Gideon's Ephod, it is important that the result of enhanced academics not be a snare to lead us away from life transformation.
