Free And Easy Way To Make Word Clouds - Wordle

Isn't that wordcloud awesome? Back in the day creating something like that would have taken an hour or two in Photoshop. And while it wouldn't have been hard, it would be really boring work. Thankfully, if you want to generate a wordcloud like the one in this post, you can use the site Wordle to do all the hard work for you. Just type in some text, hit "Go" and a beautiful wordcloud will be magically created!
If you don't like how it looks right away, you can mess around with the layout, colors, fonts etc. I generated the wordcloud at the top of this post by having it pull in the Bud Boy Tech RSS feed, pretty kick ass eh?
Just for kicks, I created another one by pasting in the lyrics to U2's song, "Sunday Bloody Sunday."
This is the kind of tool that will suck you in and have you spend 3 hours playing around with it... enjoy! Check it out here.
