In case any of you haven't seen this, it's a great use of TheyWorkForYou in a way I'd never thought of: http://www.tomscott.com/lords/
It stems from the intensely strange story that Charles Stross blogged yesterday: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/11/conspiracy-theories.html "Did somebody just try to buy the British government?". Effectively, Tom Scott used TWFY as a corpus on which to do lexical analysis of Lords speeches. Interesting piece, with interesting visualisation coming out of it. And the blog comments on Charlie's post are batshit crazyinteresting. <http://www.tomscott.com/lords/> -- Owen Blacker, London GB Say no to ID cards: www.no2id.net Get your mits off my bits: www.openrightsgroup.org Become a patron of TheyWorkForYou: www.pledgebank.com/twfypatrons -- Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759
