Tagul - A Word Cloud

A lot of people have made word clouds to help illustrate important words in a group of words, whether it's from a story or "brainstorm."  I have looked at Wordle.net and Tagxedo.com to create in the past, but recently came across Tagul.com.  I liked the fact that you could embed the cloud on your webpage with words being interactive links.  Here is a quick cloud I made using text from this blog, and a little bit of tweaking.

I don't know which you like the most, but Tagul does do some neat stuff.  Give it a try.

  1. I, too, have used Wordle and Tagxedo. I have a few students who regularly use Wordle in their blog posts. The fact that words can be interactive links is intriguing. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to check it out.
