Wordle

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. You can either paste in a bunch of text, enter the URL of any blog, blog feed, or any other web page that has an Atom or RSS feed, or enter a del.icio.us user name to see their tags.

I think Wordle can be an interesting tool to use when making a presentation as it shows the importance of key words used within your presentation. It may be fun to use as well if you have your own website or blog. I entered the URL for the CareerTech Testing Center Blog and the graphic above was created.
