Wordle : Create Fancy “Word Clouds” from Text

Wordle is a simple and lovely art tool for generating “Word Clouds” from text. If you have no idea what word clouds are, look at the sample screenshot below. To create a word cloud, Wordle asks you to enter some source text. There are two options here, you can either generate a cloud from the text you provided it with or tell Worlde to use your del.icio.us tags instead. Pretty simple han?Just like a tag cloud, it picks all of the high-frequency words in your Blog feed and arranges them in a stylish manner in order of their occurrence. The only difference is that unlike a tag cloud, words are not linked to tags on your blog.
