Do you Wordle?

It is fun to play around with Wordle. This wordle was created using a copy and paste of text from my blog. Feinberg described Wordle as a "toy" that can create word clouds. Wordle is simple use and the "randomize" feature provides Wordles of text in various fonts and colors.

It would be visually interesting to view political speeches as Wordle. What about a novel or a history book? Hmmm.
