I looked at a few sites for today to compare what they could do to the text of my History 499 paper.

The first site I looked at is Many Eyes and made a Tag Chart.  What I like the most about this site is that when you click on a word, it shows you not only how many times the word is used, but also where in the text it can be found.

I also looked at Bookworm.  I compared the words “Jew” in the USA during the 20th century with Jude in Germany because it fit the theme of my paper.

Finally I made a Word Cloud with Wordle. Wordle is definitely the most visual of the three in terms of using the text of my paper.
