Wordle:
Today I learned how to make a list of important links on my Blogger profile page, and I learned how to make a collage (or "word cloud") out of text using Wordle. The collage magnifies words within it based on the amount of times they are used within the text (supposedly indicative of their importance). Here is an image generated by inserting the text from "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" by Martin Luther King Jr.: http://screencast.com/t/mtUE.
