Wordle

If you ever wanted to create a word cloud, then you’ll want to check out Wordle, which takes text and creates a word cloud. As described at the site:

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Here’s a word cloud of the last few entries here at liblog:
