It's Wednesday so let's have a little something to push us through the middle of the week that might be fun.
I enjoy puzzles and riddles and games - so I thought it might be fun to use a slick little tool called Wordle that runs on a Google App Engine. To put it plainly, users can simply paste a number of words into the field provided and the application will generate and artistic rendition of those words. Alternately, a website address can also be used where the RSS feed of that address will be pulled in to do the dirty work. Either way, the result is a rather cool looking image where people can copy or print the content for their own websites, tee-shirts, coffee mugs or whatever. One of the cooler things the app offers up are additional options that let you select how many words are used various colors or layouts and fonts, etc. You could literally play on the Wordle site for hours and accomplish absolutely nothing. It's fantastic!

What I decided to do was push through 9 blogs and websites that I use and set Wordle to only use 10 words. Outside of setting the 10 word limitation the results you see below were completely random. Can you guess which of the images belong to which popular blogs in the Recruiting/Staffing industry?

In looking at these (and all fun aside) I wonder what our guesses say for our impression of the blogs... the keywords we associate with them versus the keywords delivered above... where else keyword optimization or use might be ideal and deserving of additional focus...

Check out the grid and listing of blogs used here - and weigh in on your thoughts around which blog is which!
