Has anyone ever tried this website?

www.wordle.net

You just paste in any text you like and it generates a graphic 'word cloud' based on how frequently each word turns up in your text. You can do some basic editing to exclude common words (the, it, and, etc) and you can play around a bit with the colours and layout.

I've done a few by pasting in lyrics to The Rising, Born To Run (full albums) plus I did one based on Bruce's Wikipedia entry.

I know this is all sad and largely pointless but I've had to find some way of keeping myself amused since Scotland failed to get to another World Cup...Posted Image

This was actually pretty fun. I did one with all the lyrics from WoaD, and seems like the most common words are "love" and "surprise". :lol:
"Some say this world of trouble
Is the only world we'll ever see
But I'm waiting for that morning
When the new world is revealed"
