I first saw Wordle in action over on Leigh's blog. And I just love it. I don't know if there is any practical use for it. Well, is there any practical use for tag or word clouds? I think so ... it gives you a view into your patterns. And that's helpful. Though perhaps just **personally** helpful, not so much for your community.
In any case, at the very least, the images the Wordle creates are pretty. So go make yourself some word art. The one below is of my delicious tags. Oh, and consider sending a few bucks to Jonathan - it's important to support developers like him!
Update: I just finished reading the rest of the Wordle site. I just want to say how impressed I am with Jonathan. He's an IBM'er and created this code on company time which IBM has subsequently given their permission for him to use in this project. Very cool. Plus, Jonathan has created an amazing credits page, FAQ and blog. So many people take acknowledgement and sharing credit for granted and simply don't do it at all. I'm really impressed by not only Wordle but by the ethics of its creator (also, he's apparently played drums for They Might Be Giants - how cool is that!?!). Great job, Jonathan!
