Neoformix has a very interesting online program called The Topic Flower tool that builds a custom flower out of any blog text you care to input into the tool.  The color and shape of the flower are based on semantic analysis of the blog text.

This Topic Flower, above, was generated with the first paragraph of my recent blog post on Selling Luxury Items Online and the Semantic Analysis tool decided my post was mainly about Economy with Technology and Art (how true).  I’m not sure how this tool can be used but I’d like to compare it to text that is obviously about Art and see what it does with it.  I selected Amy Crehore’s most recent blog post about Pierre Puvis De Chavannes as a test for a Topic Flower of Art.  I know of Chavannes’ work and often see it in the Metropolitan Museum but Amy Crehore helps me to appreciate it differently than I normally look at Puvis De Chavannes paintings.

You can have fun with tools like this.  I don’t know if there’s any meaning to shading or color mixtures, nor how much difference there is in the shape of the flower based on the text - it would be interesting to know a little more about that.

In fact, the shapes and colors do vary based on what the text is, as in the case of the Bible text and the analysis can be broken down by news subject as well.
