Tweet Clouds let you know what it is you can't shut up about

by Brad Linder Apr 7th 2008

If you're obsessed with a TV show, musician, web site, or programming language, odds are you already know it. But wouldn't it be great if someone could follow you around all day and record every single word you speak and then plot the whole thing out in a tag cloud so you can see just how much you're annoying everyone who couldn't care less about your favorite subject?

That's not exactly what Tweet Clouds does. But the site does analyze all of the messages you send over Twitter to create a tag cloud. So it's almost as good, right? It will show you a list of your most frequently used words. And the more often you use a term, the larger the font will be. If you've set up an automated system to send out a tweet every time you write a new blog post, there's a good chance you already know the words that will pop up most often.

The site is pretty slow, especially if you've sent a lot of tweets in your time. You can suppress @reply messages if you want to filter your tag a bit.

Service is down when I tried it. "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at stein.uvsc.edu"

Sorry about the down time. We're on a rather insufficient server right now, but are working on obtaining some funding for a bigger box.

But be sure to check out the latest version of TweetClouds.com today with a few cool new features.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
