Alia,
Thanks for posting that. They are quite interesting and pretty
"word clouds".
I'm just wondering if people actually use them? For example, they
used to appear on sites like CiF, but they have been removed.
They also seem a usability nightmare...
I'm guessing there is probably some massive successful word cloud
out there and I've just missed it?

So I might be coming late to the party, but have y'all seen this?

It's "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."
It's all rather pretty and has me wondering if I should do
unspeakable things with scheduling data.
Alia
