Many Eyes is a web-based data visualisation tool that is still in alpha but already looks impressive. It’s very simple. You cut and paste data (numbers or text) and then choose from a variety of data visualisation tools to make your dataset come to live. We hope to be doing some cool things with it over at caphealthcheck.eu and farmsubsidy.org. In the meantime, here is a rather silly visualisation of the most frequently used words in speeches made by the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Conservative Party Leader David Cameron. Can you tell whose words are whose? Answer after the jump.
Many Eyes has got some glitches but it seems a lot better than its rival Swivel. Here is a good comparative review of both.
Answer:
Word cloud 1 = David Cameron’s speeches since July 2007
Word could 2 = Gordon Brown’s speeches since July 2007
