Watching the Grammys last evening, brought this wonderful print ad to my attention. Throughout the evening various artists lent their faces to a group of words to form this style of picture during pre ad break fade outs. Branding at its sheer best.

I was toying with the thought of doing one for chilligavva, but mentally figuring out the steps made me defer the activity to a more leisurely day.
Tonight, I stumbled onto wordle.net and boy was I excited. You can make your own word clouds in various preset shapes and fonts. I was too lazy to even type in a bunch of words, but there was an option wherein I enter my blog feed and voila, in no time, I got a wonderful word cloud.
Here is what I could understand.
Technology: Java Applet
Right Click: More Settings [Context Menu]
Blog Widget: The site offers a code clip that you can paste into your blog.
UI: Intuitive and easy to use
What is bad? No unique picture generated, that I could copy or refer to. (I resorted to a screen capture.)
Here is how it looks.
To conclude, I would suggest Wordle to my friends. Its fun and very engaging and simple to use. My rating? 7/10
