Wordle Creates Cloud Art from Text or Tags
7:00AM Kevin Purdy | Stylish Java applet Wordle creates custom word clouds out of any text you throw at it. You can also have it parse your Del.icio.us tags for a cloud, but either way, the real fun is in customising the layout, tag colours, fonts, and much more. Once you’re done, you can share your clip in the site’s gallery, print it out, or save it using your own screen-capture tool. It makes for nice backgrounds and icons, but it can also be helpful for students and anyone trying to parse a text for emphasis—the clip above is from the mammoth last paragraph of James Joyce’s Ulysses, which can certainly hide its meanings pretty well.
