Tagxedo


Here is a great tool: http://www.tagxedo.com/. Use this site to make amazing word clouds. This site allows you to copy and paste text from Word into Tagxedo and form them into a cloud or for fun, a shape. These can be saved as .jpgs and then uploaded to your blog, webpage, document, etc. In addition, you can use a URL and Tagxedo will create a cloud from all words on that specific web page. Here is a sample I made from the wiki page.
