What is a Word Cloud?

A word cloud is a visual depiction of content (words) used in a body of text. The words in this cloud, are arranged alphabetically and depict more frequently used words in progressively larger fonts. This word cloud (pictured) was generated from my blog. You can generate your own word cloud, from your blog or website, or from a favorite passage of text, and print it on a t-shirt, either for yourself or for your favorite friend blogger. I am almost tempted, myself.
