GlimmerSite in WordleIf you haven’t tried it yet, check out Wordle.net for an amazing gallery of word pictures. Create a Wordle by typing in a bunch of words (the more you repeat a word, the bigger it gets), or paste in a website url/rss feed (as I did with GlimmerSite; click image to see it full size) and it generates an endless, colorful series of word & type juxtapositions via the Randomizer. Once you see a grouping you like, add it to the Wordle Gallery where thousands of new Wordles are being added an hour, and it’ll be seen by folks around the world. It’s tag clouds taken to the next level–a personal one.
