Alternative storytelling


You could write 500 words of Barack Obamas acceptance speech at the Democratic convention
None of four reader would read the that.
But what about the so tag cloud on the right?
The cloud shows a very precise picture of the speech. The bigger the words in the cloud the more important in the speech.
I got an pretty good idea of it in ten seconds.
I know a lot more of it after ten seconds than not reading a 500 words article in the Guardian.
Is this the way to go? Or is it to radical?

*Tag clouds can be created from any text with an free open source application.
