Word Clouds

I've seen this a couple of places now (lastly at Staring at Empty Pages). It's called "wordle" and it was invented by an IBM Research guy named Jonathan Feinberg. He calls it a "toy for generating 'word clouds'." You can go to the wordle site and create your own out of whatever text you want. You can play with layout, fonts, colors ... it's fun.

Here a couple I did - the first is my front page (delivered by RSS feed), and the second is what comes up under the label "birds"... Try it - it's painless and entertaining!
