Wordle is a toy for generating �word clouds� from text that you provide. The 
clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the 
source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and 
color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you 
like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share 
with your friends.
