Wordle.net is a free application that can be used to create “word clouds”. Copy/paste any group of words from a text or webpage, and those most frequently listed in the source text appear prominently in the cloud.
Developer Jonathan Feinberg allows for Creative Commons Attribution licensing so word clouds can be shared, used on presentations, etc. — as long as the appropriate citation is given (“www.wordle.net”).
Check out the adjacent word cloud based on support services at the Information Technology Assistance Center (iTAC). Create your own word cloud at www.wordle.net.
