Topic Flower Tool reveals the Colors of Art in New York City
Did you know that Blog Text can also be displayed as a flower? Yep, there’s a online semantic analysis tool that does that and I wrote about it over at Webmetricsguru.com, my Web Analytics blog.
What about my interview with Marsha Wooley that I did last week, what would that interview look like as a Topic Flower (see below).
Marsha Wooley’s interview - which I put a lot of my soul into writing - is all about Art, and I can’t tell you if lavander in the background means there is also some Economy, Science and Technology in the text as well - perhaps there is.
What About Amy Chrehore’s Interview, how does it compare with Marsha Wooley’s as Topic Flower?
There are subtle differences, mostly in texture between the Amy Chrehore Topic Flower and the Marsha Wooley Topic Flower.  A Topic Flower of Amy’s recent post about Pierre Puvis De Chavannes looks much different - reflecting as much the writers style as the subject of the post (see below).
What about Olan’s Interview that I did a couple of weeks ago?
Spooky! The Olan interview was actually as much about Society as it was about Art, according to the Semantic Analysis that the Topic Flower tool performed on the Interview Text.  These Topic Flowers remind me of the 7 Chakra system of energy centers in the human body - at least, they look that way.
By the way, here’s a short description of how to decode the colors and shapes of the Topic Flowers:
Rules for interpretation:
- The same text will always generate the same flower.
- More text will generate more layers of petals.
- The primary topic will be shown using the associated colour on the outermost two layers of petals.
- If there is a secondary topic it will be shown on the third layer of petals. This pattern repeats, two layers using the primary, then one with the secondary.
- If there exists a tertiary topic its’ colour is used to accent the edges of some of the primary coloured petals.
- The number of little ‘hairs’ on the flower is indicative of the number of personal pronouns used in the text.
- Rounder petal shapes are suggestive of emotionally positive terms (love, yes, peace) , and more elongated terms indicate negative terms (death, murder, idiot).
Have fun, enjoy the Topic Flower Tool and please write me to share your thoughts.
