A few days ago I announced a new Word Cloud report on Hive Analytics. The first draft of this feature stopped a lot of common words, but still got hung up on some meta data in posts that were not properly getting filtered out.
I released a new update today that greatly improved how I filter out html tags but also adds more common words to the filter. You should see a much improved Word Cloud with these improvements. I still plan on making improvements to this feature so it will just get better.

You can see this example using @beaker007's account is a lot more focused on content. Things like centerxcenter, centercenter, and classphishy no longer pollute the word cloud.
You can now easily share your word cloud on PeakD snaps by pressing:
You can check out your (or for anyone else) word cloud at https://hiveanalytics.usehive.com/word-cloud.
I am currently working on some improvements for the Curation reports. I will likely consolidate the three reports into one by improving the Curation Leaderboard to have all data.
I also want to improve Word Cloud feature by having multiple choices for how aggressive you want common words filtered out. I want the word cloud to really show what a user is talking about without losing their personality. I do see value however in aggressively removing words that don't offer a lot of value.
I also want to start adding in some of the Hive Engine reports I have planned.
If you have suggestions on words you think should be removed from the Word Cloud, feel free to use the feedback feature or leave a comment.
There are over 250 unique users using Hive Analytics!
