Wordle (no, not worlde) is has a pretty impressive world cloud generator. It’s not quite a tag cloud, as that would imply that it’s linked to content somewhere, but the visual algorithms are pretty cool.

(Lastly, I can’t vouch for the source of the fonts in use - there are a half dozen to choose from. They’re not font names I readily recognize.)

I hadn’t heard of Wordle until now. I thought you had made a typo. :^D But then I wondered what I was doing editing a tag cloud anyway.

thats is a great little app, weird that it constraints you to using their html code.

Joe, it looks like most of the fonts are from Mr Larabie.

Yes, and Ray posted news of Wordle last week in General Discussions
on June 11, right here.

Yes. There was a great deal of hoopla.

Yes. A big brou ha-ha on that one. People tripping over each other to post on that thread. It sure helps if you can get it onto the hand-picked list ;^)
