Web 2.0 App Test.

I just checked out a pretty cool website called "Wordle" which allows you to make some awesome looking word clouds. The website asks you to insert a piece of text or to enter the URL of a blog, blog feed or any other website that has an Atom or RSS feed (Which by the way, means absolutely nothing to me).

The app works by analyzing the source text and changing the size of certain words depending on how many times the words appear. For example, if you were to write "Apple banana banana grape grape grape" it would appear like this:

This could be extremely useful while revising, for example if you one thing was more important than the rest then you could simply make it bigger than the rest of the words so that it would be easier to remember. It's even possible to change the layout, font and colour of the image to suit your liking.

However, I did find one problem with it (albeit small and easy to get around, it's a problem nonetheless). I could not find a way to save it as an image to your own computer/laptop. The only way I found a way around this was to take a screen shot using the "print screen" button then crop the image so that just the Wordle imagine is visible and save it as a jpeg. file.

Below is the text based representation of the most common words on my blog as of today.

Until next time internet, thanks for reading.
