Another month has coming to a close. It seems that time just keeps going by faster and faster. Summer has finally set in here and I am trying to keep cool without air conditioning. Once it hits the high 90’s with 90% humidity, I may have to turn it on. But for now I’m trying to conserve money and energy.
Wordle – Generate Word Clouds from Text, RSS, and del.icio.us
Wordle is an online java based utility used to generate word clouds from text. The word could can be created from a block of text that you input, as RSS feed and from the tags used in a del.icio.us account.
The word clouds can not be saved to your computer but can be saved to the online gallery, printed or you can take a screenshot of your word cloud.
The word clouds can be customized by font, layout and color. The results are really quite beautiful
The following are screenshots I took of word clouds that I created over the weekend.
Text Option: Lyrics to Marianne by Tori Amos

del.icio.us option: tags from my del.icio.us account kwbridge
