Word cloud and sentiment analysis

Ever wanted to know which words pop up a lot in your LinkedIn posts? Or, what tone you write in?

MonkeyLearn provides two free tools for this: a word cloud generator and a sentiment analyser.

A word cloud is a visual representation of data that depicts the frequency of words by giving greater prominence to those that appear more often.

Sentiment analysis uses natural language processing (NLP) to determine whether data is positive, negative or neutral.

I exported my LinkedIn archive and dug up my historical post data (only main posts between 2018–2022). I then ran this through the Word Cloud Generator and Sentiment Analyzer.

𝘎𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 & 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘺 > 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘺 > 𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘷𝘦. 𝘖𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘴.𝘤𝘴𝘷 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘣𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢.

For the word cloud, predictably, all the words I expected were up there, with ‘excel’ the runaway leader (have I really said that 243 times?).

As for the sentiment analysis, it gave me a ‘Neutral’ with 58.4% confidence. Probably about right.
