wordle makes your words interesting

August 1st, 2008

wordle takes the idea of a tag cloud – a selection of words or tags – and sets about organising them in an eye-catching design. the example on the right is this blog and the previous five posts – notice how much i use the word ‘css’ more than all the other words on the cloud.

once you get to grips with the app you can tweak the colour scheme, direction of the text and the font.

the results are fantastic, it would be tricky to use it online for anything more than a image – because you can’t edit or select the text in the end result – but on t-shirts, posters and other printed media there is a lot of scope for the results that wordle spits out.

have a go for yourself; http://www.wordle.net.
