Wordling away :)

Here’s a fun site to create instant tag clouds based on 3 different sets of criteria:

• text you type in
• url of a site with a feed
• del.icio.us user name

Here is one I created with this blog’s url:

I see a few possibilities for this:

• Seeing frequently used words in websites or various texts, written by or for students
• Vocabulary words – a teacher could create a visual data mine for frequently misspelled or correctly spelled words to post in class
• For fun because there is nothing wrong with doing things for fun :)

I would like to see it embeddable…for now it seems to only be able to pop a tiny image into my blog (as you can (barely) see above.

I discovered Wordle via TechnoSeeds. Thanks :)
