I have had a look through some very interesting web 2.0 apps over the past few month making this blog for educational studies, however the one that i found quite intriguing and amusing is called Wordle
You can access Wordle at http://www.wordle.net/
Wordle is used to create lovely “word clouds” from text that you give it. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. the text you see is from for example a blog or a website or whatever you want. (are you excited yet?!)
You can edit your cloud so it has different fonts and such. If you like colour, then this app will give you colour. which i think is a useful tip for anyone revising. here's a quote from my history teacher in comprehensive school "the brain loves colour". So kids you know the score. Use it.
Getting back on track, the images you create with Wordle are yours to keep (very generous). You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with other Wordle lovers.
Here is a really nice one made about teachers. ^^

I love using this website although it did take my ageing laptop ages to load it up. I rate it with an 8/10 which in the scale of life, I believe is pretty good.
Thanks for reading
