10 x 10

Jonathan Harris is at it again. I love Harris' Wordcount that presents the most used words in English graphically. Here we can learn, for example, that "mandate" is the 9804-most used word, right behind "outrageous" (9802) and "lied" (9803). "Bush" is number 2629; reading sequentially, we get "bush admits specifically agents smell." What fun. Harris' latest, 10 x 10, compiles photos and words from RSS feeds (Reuters World News, BBC World Edition, and New York Times International News) using "an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis" to determine the most important words and then matching images to the words. I'm not sure how scientific it is, but it's pretty nifty.
