☁ Observations

(instead of making new posts, I will just make relevant observations here, as a record)

Dr. Paul Reseated
3/4/10, back on top. This was right after the Texas Gov. R-primary & his CPAC straw poll win.

Dr. Paul Temporarily Unseated!
Woh! As of the beginning of 2/13/10, Medina has more occurrences than Paul on the last 2500 DP headlines!
 
 
———update———

Here's an updated, search-linked wordcloud of keywords across the titles of the last several hundred most recent posts to see what's on "the site's mind". (Not just a pretty picture!)

You can change how many elements it sees (1000 max) by finding and changing the value past "howMany=" in the URL, then refreshing. Greater than 400 the lag is more noticeable.

What else does it/we need, folks?

If it were smaller, would it be sidebar or bottom-of-page material?

This link (as is) can also be poured into any <iframe> or <embed> and it will resize.

Instead of complaining how there is so little metadata here to organize thoughts, I made this from a spreadsheet that unobtrusively, periodically observes the site and parses this data. Hopefully it is a convincing example for using metadata.

In similar, perhaps less useful ways, here are the results for a search of "Ron Paul" on Flickr in a sphere, and the most recent 100 topics in the Liberty forum on a carousel.

Feel free to use the wordcloud. Or if you think any variation of what you see here could be useful, let me know, I'd be happy to help out however possible.

(Feedback on how any of the animated ones run on your computer may help, too...)

Oh, Liberty Movement: Please don't use IE. It is unsafe, slower, and generally of poorer quality than, say, the open-source, free Firefox. Though I'll try and figure out why the link's not working in IE, I refer you to these visuals to support my point.
