Wordle

A Wordle is an automated word cloud. A word cloud is simply a visual representation of a text. It takes the words of a text and creates a cluster or cloud of those words. The more a word is repeated, the larger it appears in the cloud. Within Wordle.net you can manipulate the cloud in some ways (change color, font and word direction) but you can't necessarily manipulate the shape.
