Wordle.net a cool tool to quickly generate graphics

2008-07-31T12:33:00.003-05:00

A friend, Rick Matson training expert (blog to come later), showed me Wordle.net. It is cool tool that allows you to make some really neat graphics using text. Text can be pasted in or pulled from a site with a RSS feed automatically or Enter a del.icio.us user name to see their tags. It then makes a type of tag cloud that increases a words size based on the frequency of that word. The design can then be changed by modifying color, font, layout.
Here is a promo wordle that I quickly created.
Try it out with some of your promotional ideas.
