wordles

there is the really cool website with a program that allows you to create word clouds from any text you type or paste into it. i've been having a lot of fun playing with it and making wordles mostly from lyrics to various songs, but if you're more creative than i am, you could probably make something really interesting. the website is: http://www.wordle.net/

here's an example of a couple that i have made.

this one is just text pasted from dean wareham's wikipedia entry:

wareham wiki wordle

and one from the lyrics of the luna song sideshow by the seashore:

sideshow by the seashore wordle

finally, this one is from the lyrics to another day by galaxie 500:

another day wordle

i highly recommend that you go check this out, and share your results with me. i'd love to see them!
