Software for representation / analysis of internet discussion forums

[thompson ewata]

hi everyone,

i'm really sorry if i'm barging on your time now. 

please, i need to understand how "Wordsmith" or any of the lexical analysis software used for the analysis of text works.

i'll be grateful if i could get the software (preferably free; for windows) and how to use it.

regards

Thompson

Dear Celso,

In not entirely sure I understood what you're looking for.
But check out Prezi.

With some creativity you can do lots of interesting stuff
that might not have to do with presentations at all.

Have fun and good luck,

Martin Kopf
