Via Twitter (you are following me, aren’t you?), Chris Griffith over in Bonita Springs, Florida, mentioned Wordle. I clicked through her tweet, to the post on her blog, and then clicked through from the post to Wordle, and was a bit geeked out over the cool way Wordle takes the words used on a web page to turn them into a cloud, similar to a tag cloud, but without any clicky.
Here’s a Wordle cloud for the Phoenix Area Real Estate Blog’s home page right now:
The colors, fonts, orientation, and many other visual aspects of the cloud can be modified in the settings of Wordle. Wordle does require Java to make it work, which needed a few seconds to get running. Once running, however, it was a breeze to customize a Wordle cloud into something that appealed to me.

Very nice. Looks like an art work. I wonder if the colors can be changed .. to pink, blue, indigo and lavender? Anyway I think that Courier new is a very contemporary looking font. I am going to use it on my next business card.

All of the colors and fonts can be customized, along with some mice layout choices.
