Word Puzzle by Wordle

I got a tip from Reese, that Wordle, http://www.wordle.net/ might be useful to visualize the content of a large text. So I took all of the text from our IM White Paper and copied it into the application, and out came a piece of art.

Wordle is a nice application, for generating “word clouds” from texts. 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.
