In follow-up to yesterday’s historical Presidential Inauguration, I thought I would focus on something fun today….like word clouds!  By definition a word cloud or tag cloud is a visual depiction of the word content or user-generated tags of a site (Wikipedia). Word clouds are a great way of showcasing the words most commonly used throughout websites, blog posts, speeches, etc.

So wondering what words were used most often in President Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address compared to past Presidents? Check out these word clouds I found:

President Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address - 2009

President George W. Bush’s Second Inaugural Address - 2005

President Bill Clinton’s Second Inaugural Address - 1997

A very interesting comparison!  You can easily make your own word cloud of your blog or website by visiting www.wordle.net.
