Wordle

Yet another online time waster:

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.

The image above was made using my post-election essay about Barack Obama's historic presidential run; I'm pleasantly surprised that I didn't use the word "change" more often. You can click on the image to enlarge.
