Now create a fancier word cloud
Wednesday, April 08th, 2009 | Author:

Yesterday’s post about TagCrowd showed you how to create a simple word cloud. Today’s service, Wordle, gets you basically the same results but in a much more visually pleasing way. As with TagCrowd, give Wordle some text or a URL, or, in this case, a Delicious username and get back a customizable word cloud. Here’s three versions from Wordle based on the same text I used yesterday.

2591136952_fc02dc6ae6_tLet’s just say I’ve been a tad preoccupied at work this week, hence the lack of a post yesterday, or probably for the rest of this week. In the mean time, have a little fun checking out Greg Rutter’s Definitive List of The 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet Unless You’re a Loser or Old or Something.
