Twitter Word Cloud for OpenOffice
I took all the tweets from June that mentioned 'OpenOffice' and then
removed the word 'OpenOffice' as well as the string 'RT/. (If they
were left in they would dominate over the other terms). I then
created a 'world cloud' using the Wordle applet:
http://www.wordle.net/
Here's what I got: http://people.apache.org/~robweir/twitter-cloud.png
This gives a sense of what words are most closely associated with
OpenOffice in recent Twitter conversations.
What does it mean? I dunno. You tell me.

The context of "paperback" is from posts like this:
https://twitter.com/rodallxgl/statuses/216015986409734145
Spam?
The complication of looking at Twitter data is it is a mix of original
user content, forwarded news story titles, and spam.

actually, I was thinking that the Twitter Word Cloud could make a nifty presentation background, too.

The prominence of Paperback might suggest that it is being used for book layout, which it does very well, within the limits that it is not a specialised DTP program.

KG01 - Very nice. I'll include in our Twitter social data harvest.
As for analysis. It's hard to extract a complete picture of sentiment without correlating the various words in some context.
I viewed the word cloud in my iPhone, so I could only read some terms - good filter.
Observation: there is much chatter about alternatives and the incumbents.
Insight: this presents a paradox, as some feel AOO should establish it's own identity, while others are focused on relativism - our ability to support users migrating from other tools, provide feature parity and support the ability for users to leverage their existing knowledge. Moving forward our design direction will to continue to be mindful of both paths.
Observation: the predominance of brand over feature/fuction chatter
Insight: Brand matters. People are emotionally attached to their office suite.
Observation: Writer and paperback are prediminat tool-oriented references.
Insight: Document editor is most important to people in the twitter sphere.
Not overly deep, just some impressions.
What do others see?
Thanks for sharing.

Looking further into this and seeing how the cloud is generated, I would be interested in seeing how it looks in, say, Chinese, or other non-US/Roman-script languages.

At least you used the words "closely associated" rather than
the loaded implication of "competing" which someone else used
when describing your cloud.
