Over here at The Social Studies Lab (okay fine, it’s not really a lab), we’ve had our heads in the clouds. Tag clouds.

We find they are great ways to get a quick read on a topic or universe. Granted, the data that goes in is key and that’s where we really live and breathe. This little cloud I put together represents recent blog posts mentioning eco-friendly sippy cups.

Sippy cups, you ask? Well, we’re deep into a very exciting research project surrounding eco-friendly products for babies and children. We’ll be telling you more soon. Bet you can’t wait!?

This one shows the most used words.

This one, the most used phrases.

I’m sure you can imagine how useful this can be when drilling deeply into social research to see what is being said, by whom, and how.

Good times!
