The Newburgh Advocate has created a page on Many Eyes for interactive graphics pertaining to Newburgh.  For the two visualizations below, the data set was a transcription of the general comments from the public at the close of the September 8, 2008 City Council meeting.

Many Eyes is a project of scientists at IBM’s Watson Research Center.  For more on their project, see a recent New York Times article.

The word tree above was created by typing in the word “city.” You can visit the visualization and type in another word.

The relative size of the words in the “wordle” above is based on their frequency, with larger words more frequently used and smaller words less frequently used. Common English words (like “the” or “a”) have been filtered out of the visualization. Take a closer look here.
