A better word cloud with R: FF Party vs Country

Keep meaning to learn R an open source statical graphics language so I copied this example from Drew Conway about building a better word cloud. I took the Fianna Fail leadership contest speeches from the Irish Times as recent examples of comparable speeches. There was a lot of talk of how often the spoke of what was good for the party as opposed to what was good for the country.

As Drew says this only shows common words so here are wordle clouds, of all there words.

Google Map API Crib links

A list of links how-to's and example I used to make my Tara landscape Google map APIs( as a reference for me). Tara Hill Skryne Valley Google Map

Made possible mainly by GeoXml and labeledmarker examples of which I found at Googlemapsbooks.com and some examples at uwmike.com/maps/ and lots of detailed basic howto at Mike at Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team!? Also Mapki API reference page and the Google map API and Google Map API discusion groups

Del.ico.us is good way to find examples by searching the bookmarks of people who bookmarked the same thing as you

Googlemap infowindows are functional but clunky.
