Create random word clouds with Wordle

Here’s a bit of useless fun for you. Wordle is a website that lets you create word clouds like the one above using text that you provide. [via]

Like all word clouds (or tag clouds), the higher the frequency of the word, the bigger the word appears. Wordle allows you to choose from a list of typefaces, text colors, and various layouts. It’s actually a great tool to use if you want a little inspirational poster for your desk/workspace (provided that you also supply an inspirational quote or passage).

Also, if you want to see the tags used for any user on del.icio.us, then all you have to do is enter their username and the tag cloud is generated for you automatically.

The word cloud above is taken from the entire New Super Mario Bros. walk-through for the Nintendo DS. You can download the walk-through here if you want.
