3 Wordle Clouds from Ski Press Magazine Ski Test Week

Wordle is an online toy for generating “word clouds” from text (or URL) that you provide.

The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

We love playing with Wordle – so much so we’ve created three below from our week as ski testers for ski press magazine.

What follows is a unique and creative way of getting the essence of our week in our own words… but remixed thanks to Wordle.

The first wordle cloud below was created using all the words we used in writing blog summary reports for 5 days starting last Sunday when we arrived in Ste-Anne. You can read all of them here if you haven’t already.

The next wordle cloud below was created using all the words Sasha used in writing her comments and impressions of the 30+ skis she tested over 4 days. All the comments were captured into our laptop (independent of ski or manufacturer) before handing in the booklet at the end of day 4.

The next wordle cloud below was created using all the words Phil used in writing his comments and impressions of the 30+ skis he tested over 4 days.  All the comments were captured into our laptop (independent of ski or manufacturer) before handing in the booklet at the end of day 4.

Wouldn’t it be cool to see a consolidated Wordle cloud from all testers published in Ski Press Magazine next fall as part of their profile of the testers?

We sure think so… and have emailed the suggestion to Sophie at Ski Press for consideration.
