wordle up!

Wordle is a java applet that is simply fantastic. Its basic idea is to create/generate a "word cloud." You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and colours. Some of the fonts that have been contributed are from the like of Ray Larabie, and Barry Schwartz.

One thing to note is that the algorithm uses a system in which the more times a word appears the larger it will be. There is an example in the FAQ section that explain this further. With that in mind, I think this can lead to some some very inspiring work. Especially for an unsuspecting client.
