Yes this is getting repetitive, but I have an abnormally high tolerance for boredom! 🤣 So here is Wednesday Jan 25 hashtag word cloud from hashtags.fyi/ from a few minutes ago!
Waterfall Wednesday is right up there after Ivory, but Meermittwoch and Whiskers Wednesday are strong contenders for Wednesday themes. Introductions are going strong (hello!!), and Microsoft's problems were getting some traction too. Covid 19 is an active topic, as is Ukraine and climate crisis. But the photography and art topics are all over the place! 😁

in reply to teledyn 𓂀 • • •Well I put all the #hashtag pngs I have over the past few weeks into gimp and made an animated gif but I don't think it's that informative, sadly. I think I'd have to add titles to show the dates; and assign some of the main tags a fixed spot in the cloud, maybe...?

in reply to chiasm • •It would probably mean aggregating all the tags, and change their relative size based on the day.
which seems like real work.

I kinda like it this way, a definite psychedelic vibe 😊
But perhaps mapping terms to polar coordinates, then use the text's size to repel neighbours so a growing trend pushes its way through?

Ok… so… we take a few pigeons, and like those experiments at Queen's, we strap them in a little chair with those little pigeon-sized VR goggles, and we project the bouncy graph at them, if the flight muscles tense we throw a Trending alert, but also see if pigeons just don't care what's trending…
I'm sure we can get a grant!
