Wordle

I came across Wordle in my blog travels. Wordle generates a "word cloud" from text that you provide from either a listing of words or a website, blog, or even your delicious account. There are other options, such as text and color. Once created, you may save the image (giving credit where credit is due) and/or share it with others on the Wordle site. The Wordle blog discusses educational application. Here is one I created using our "23things" blog. It is important to read the licensing rights when using this.

Wordle is great - very easy and so much fun. I wonder what other ideas readers of your blog have for using it!
