Cincinnati Wordle

You just never know what will tickle peoples fancy.  In this case, I was surprised because it was a “Wordle.”

So here is the story about the “Cincinnati Wordle.”

Last week at the Meeting Point Cincinnati Inaugural Meetup, my speech was titled “Beyond WKRP.”

My inspiration for the speech was based on my experience traveling around the country and realizing that many peoples first comment when I mention Cincinnati as home is,  “I Love WKRP in Cincinnati!”  I agree it was a great show but being in the Meeting and Event Industry I know Cincinnati has much more to offer than a memory of a 70’s Sitcom.  I wanted to inspire the group to craft a better legacy for Cincinnati.

I did a little research and found some Yahoo Reviews about the City of Cincinnati and I was happy to find they were very positive for the most part.  I remembered a website called Wordle where you can input text and have it rendered in an artistic manner.  The way that Wordle works is the more frequent the word entered the larger it is displayed.  I pasted a couple of pages of reviews into Wordle and this is what came out (pasted below).

Besides how much the attendees liked the Wordle, I was intrigued by the output of the Wordle.   Although my reviews included positive and negative comments, the positive shone through.  Often it is human nature to focus on the negative but the impartial Wordle clearly reads that Cincinnati is a “Great, Beautiful, Excellent and Wonderful City!”

You can create your own Wordles at Wordle.net.

I will be posting the full presentation on MPC next week.
