Basics+of+Word+Clouds

**"Everything I need to know about word clouds I learned in T for 2**." (//borrowed from Robert Fulghum)//

 * A word cloud is a stylized way of visually representing occurrences of words in a piece of text. The most frequently used words are normally highlighted in a larger, bolder font.**


 * Modified from Webopedia Computer Dictionary**
 * []**

A graphic representation of most frequently used words. In a speech in a poem, in a book, in your head, in scripture, in a historical document, on a blog, in a wiki, on a chart in your classroom, on Twitter/Plurk, at a presentation or staff meeting, in a piece of writing, and more!
 * So, what’s Wordle?**

However, it is NOT limited to only frequently used words. You can create a wordle to be what you wish the wordle to be.
