One of my favourite things about Twitter is being able to make Tweet clouds to see what I’ve been rambling on about for the last month, six months, year or however long. There are a few Tweet cloud things out there (Google em) but I mostly stick to this bad boy. It’s easy to use, simple and attractive. I like it. It suits my purpose for sure. What I don’t like is when you’ve created your cloud it gets posted to your Twitter stream! BUT such an annoyance is easily solved by simply remembering to untick the check box. Simple eh. So what exactly have I been going on about lately?

Four months ago I made this:

And today I made more! This is what I’ve been Twittering on about for the last year:

And this the last month:

I like that they’re mostly positive… although I must have said shit a lot recently. Oops.

I’ve always used this blog to write about whatever was on my mind. It’s inconsistent but that’s how I always wanted it to be. I don’t want just librarians to read it or just vegans or just crafters. I want people to come here because of one of these things and read about other things. I’ve had this problem with my Twitter feed too and always worry about boring people. Don’t list me as a librarian, don’t list me as a vegan, don’t list me as a knitter – just have a look through what I say and see if you find any of it interesting – I hope you do.

And so for the finale here are my mostly used hashtags made with My Tweetcloud and Wordle:

I don’t really understand why there are so many variations of nsew (National Science and Engineering Week) but nevermind and there are some inconsistencies with Chile and Chile’s but we get the point.
