Wordle
Posted by: Katrina Adams In: Web 2.0
I had to do a quick post on this b/c it’s just too cool to only post in Jaiku about. Wordle takes text and creates a word cloud out of it.
Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
So, I took my resume, copy/pasted the content into Wordle, and out popped my Wordle resume…

So basically, you can take a document and quickly see what concepts you focus on. Definitely interesting. (Thanks Jeremy!)
