State of the University Word Cloud

by Adam

Last week Harvey Perlman, Chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, delivered the annual State of the University address. If you missed it, full text can be found here.

I created this Wordle word cloud using the text from the Chancellor’s speech:

2009 State of the University Address

The word cloud does a nice job of highlighting some of the key themes and takeaways. I attempted to do the same on my own while I was sitting at the event.

Twitter - State of University

Not too bad – I must be a good listener!

Twitter Downtime is National News?

by Adam

Twitter is down.”

I remember a time when no one around me cared. “Twitter is down!” I would tell a co-worker in the cubicle next to me.

“What’s Twitter?”

“So what?”

“Big deal.”

“That’s nice”

Apparently times have changed. Yesterday’s outage due to Denial of Service Attack was given “front page” attention on CNN.com, FoxNews.com, DrudgeReport, and others.  Perhaps this was due to the nature of the attack or the fact that Facebook was the target of a similar assault. Nevertheless, I think it is safe to say that Twitter is kind of a big deal these days.

What do you think? Was yesterday’s Twitter outage worthy of the national news attention it received?
