Interesting Web Application - Wordle

[chefann]

I got a link to this site in a daily email of interesting things around the web. It's SOOOOO cool!!

What it does is make a word cloud from text you enter, or websites that you link to. Word sizes in the cloud are based on the frequency. You can change the orientation, font, color, etc. And then print or save your Wordle.

This is one that I created using the text of the Gettysburg Address, in honor of Lincoln's bicentennial.

You can play with your own by going to Wordle - Beautiful Word Clouds.

I have seen the results before, but not the application to create it. Thanks so much, Ann!

This doesn't create links, like some websites have. It's purely decorative. But fun!

So that's how you do it! I saw one of these on that open source chick's site.

Ann,

Thanks for posting this link (I like your wordle too). I'm thinking I can whip up a nice (an unexpected) valentine's day gift for DH. How fun!

I love Wordle - it's so fun! I had created a PC wordle t-shirt here.
