Wordle 'em up.

Worlde might be a fun app to use to add a little life to your next presentation. As LifeHacker put it: “It makes for nice backgrounds and icons, but it can also be helpful for students and anyone trying to parse a text for emphasis.”  

It took seconds to create this graphic above – but using information I’ve built up for about two years. That’s a cloud of the tags I use to sort the bookmarks I keep sorted via del.icio.us. Wordle is not a del.icio.us add-on, per se (though as you can see by the link at the left side of this post's footer, we kinda like del.icio.us around here). You can paste in whatever text you want and watch Wordle sprout a word-cloud based on frequency of individual words in your text. You've got options to change the number of words displayed, layout, color scheme, and font.

Imagine a creative brief in this format.

Here’s the United States Declaration of Independence, in word-cloud form (the most prominent 150 words, anyway):
