Penelope, likely it would be if the TweetClouds service actually processed your entire archive of messages. It’s not clear how far back it goes, but, not far enough (even *this week* it would seem).

solid..LOVE your cloud! I always know you by MARINATE. Wow, I did not realize you were on Twitter since March 2007. I started in May 2007 but I did not become truly active until October.

Now, I appreciate twitter more because of the variety of people who are using it.

Thanks for the education! ;)

Ethan, no doubt! It is possible that our social media fishbowl would reflect in the way you suggest -- the question is whether or not the reflection leads to action. That will be the next movement. Chris, I do know who you mean. You can plug in other usersnames, actually, and see their clouds as well. There is no password authentication or archiving by the service itself. Try it out, then, hit me. Kathryn, I agree. The interesting thing is, will the aspects of what I say (that I hope will grow and evolve), actually do so? We'll see.

Pretty interesting that “people” is number one. That’s a good thing. It’s weird looking up there and wondering about how you live, and how your words reflect that. Can I plug in OTHER people’s stuff? That might be telling. You know who I mean.

Very interesting indeed. Really awesome to be able to look back at a piece of your history like that, in such detail. That friggin rocks. Imagine when this type of service is used by the majority of peeps. Maybe society will then spend more time pausing and reflecting versus, fast forwarding and forgetting.

My biggest word in my TweetCloud was “love”. I’m ok with that.

MrsB, I am not surprised that Marinate. does not stand as tall. I only drop that when it honestly applies, and do not sling it around enough to dilute it to the point where it no longer has meaning. Consider it a small seed that is being watered and over time will be a giant oak. Marinate.
