Yeah, wordle makes clouds more interesting and fun, and I've found they're most useful when you compare clouds. Like compare the "speech cloud" from Senator McCain's concession to President-elect Obama's victory speech on Nov. 4, as I did:

John - Thanks for teaching me the meaning of wordle. I noticed the link should be http://www.wordle.net/.
This is a pretty valuable tool to check copy, speeches and articles, along with just a pretty novel thing to tinker with to validate your objective in any creative work.
Thanks - Scott
