The image above, I've just created with Wordle, a web application that creates word clouds from a variety of sources: text clippings, URLs or page feeds, and even a set of social bookmarking tags. I used the FeedBurner feed for the Writing Studio Blog as the source for this image.The screen shot above of a pop-out window from the web app. shows the Edit, Language, Font, Layout, and Color control tabs in the toolbar (top), as well as the Print, Randomize, and Save buttons (bottom). If you are creating word clouds of private or personal content, Wordle recommends against saving them to the public gallery in the Save to gallery dialog box.
The image below, I've created from a set of del.icio.us tags. The Wordle Create function automatically used a different layout than the one for the Writing Studio Blog feed (above). Though I'm uncertain how accurate or complete these illustrations are, they do add a visual flavor to the content itself.
