Wordle - Beautiful Word Clouds

We love words…if we didn’t, we wouldn’t spend such a large part of our lives reading. That’s why I wanted to share with you a fun and creative Java applet.

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.
