Wordle


My 10-year-old sister showed me this site! Wordle is a toy for making "word clouds" from text that you enter.  The words you want to put into patterns are arranged randomly by an ingenious program designed by an IBM programmer.  The arrangements are unique in different sizes, fonts, colors and shapes.  (It takes a little while to load so be patient!) Here is one I made.  I have also posted one someone made using Barack Obama's 2004 speech.

That is so cool! I wish I knew about this thing at the beginning of the semester... I had to make so many word maps.
