# Jesse Stay 20 Oct 2008

Thanks for doing that – I tried, but it kept timing out for me on the notes I was basing it on.

# jacob 20 Oct 2008

I had the very same idea, but I haven’t gotten to it yet.

# Melissa 20 Oct 2008

Is there a purpose in the shape? Maybe I am too much into symbolism, but it looks like a fish.

# Connor 20 Oct 2008

Is that the one I created? I like the dark one better.

I also generated a PDF version for the one shown above (I had to re-generate the text, so the words are moved around a bit), and have had several people tell me that they’ve printed it to display in their home somewhere.

Connor,

Sorry, but I don’t remember where I got it. If it was from you, sorry I didn’t give you credit.

Thanks for posting this.

# Stephen M (Ethesis) 21 Oct 2008

Thanks. That was pretty as well.

Larry, I commented, but didn’t hit submit until this morning. I, too, liked it enough to print it out to have it.

# Larry Beck 21 Oct 2008

I tried “wordling” the Book of Mormon. Found a text file on the internet and “wordled” 1 Nephi and 3 Nephi. As you can guess, Nephi is the largest word. Fascinating web site.

# Heather 21 Oct 2008

I LOVE THIS! Thank you for share it. I’d love to frame it.

# aqua 21 Oct 2008

i like the dark one better 2. and it does look like a fish. that’s kind of weird.

# Clint 22 Oct 2008

I tried this yesterday and loved it. I’m planning on “wordleing” my blog. It tried it today and it looks like the website is down.

# New Technologies 22 Oct 2008

Really very cool thanks for share

# Brad Wilson 30 Oct 2008

It’s great to show this to friends as another “proof” that the Church isn’t focused solely on Joseph Smith…that out of ~8hrs worth of talks “Lord”, “Jesus”, and “Christ” are in fact most prominent.

Perhaps it’s because grew up Catholic and joined the LDS Church as an adult, but my first impression of the shape was that it was a FOOTPRINT, and made me think of the “Footprints” poem about walking on the beach with the Lord.

Just my $0.02.

# Janet 19 Dec 2008

Where did you get the entire text of General Conference in one place? Can I get your file? I want to try to make my own version…

Thanks, this is beautiful
Janet

# ldsWebguy 19 Dec 2008

I just went to the general conference page on LDS.org, opened each talk and copied the text into a single Word file. Sorry, I didn’t keep the file.

# Most Spoken « SitRep II 7 Feb 2009

# Connor 9 Apr 2009

I have created a new wordle for this past weekend’s general conference. Image here, PDF version here.

Also check out this linguistic analysis, which I find very interesting.

# Gayle 26 Apr 2009

I think that it looks more like a foot print and by following the spoken words in that word cloud we cant go wrong. Thanks for sharing.
