TagCloud The Unnamable · 24 October 06 by Ray Crowley
Recently I came across a great project called TagCrowd by Standford Researcher Daniel Steinbock . I like tags, I like lexical analysis so I love this. Enter up to 100kb of text for lexical frequency analysis and hey presto there you go a beautiful TagCloud (published under a Creative Commons License).
Below are the results of the application applied to Samuel Beckett’s novel The Unnamable
