Wordle

Have you ever heard of tag clouds? You’ve probably seen them on various blogs without even realizing it. Essentially, a tag cloud is a visual representation of the tags associated with some content. The bigger the tags appear, the more frequently they’re used to describe the content. Therefore, in a quick glance, you can see what kinds of topics a blogger talks about the most. A word cloud is essentially the same thing, however, in this case, it just analyzes text in general. Give Wordle a try to see how this works.

Wordle has three ways that you can create a word cloud. You can either paste in some text, provide a link to a site, or enter a del.icio.us user name. Your word cloud is created quickly, and you can change its appearance, share it in the gallery, and use it however you want. Why would you want to do this? Well, it’s fun for one thing, but I can also see this helping writers who want to see which words they use the most.
