Wordle

While crawling around for information on ECM ( Enterprise Content Management ) I stumbled upon http://blogs.oracle.com/fusionecm/ . It was here that I was introduced to a nifty new tool called Wordle.

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

This isnt groundbreaking or anything, but its very user friendly and fun. I've been using it to create greate brainstorming graphics for work. I've been putting together literature and selling points for our new Imaging department. Here is an example of what I made.
