Wordle - see a picture of what words occur most often

Here's the brainchild of an IBM researcher: a website that will take words and show you a picture of the words with ones used most often being larger. This is sort of like a word cloud. You can click create, enter (or paste) text and see what it does.

The website is:
http://wordle.net

You can paste something you wrote in here, like an email! Or, you can copy and paste a website, or a bible verse from biblegateway.com or the Gettysburg Address in wordle.
(hint: try clicking the randomize button to see all different designs!)

Or, you can point it at an RSS feed (like the one from my blog).
Try clicking on "create" again, and then putting in the URL box (the second box on the page) the following:
http://henrywill4.blogspot.com
then click submit

Enjoy!
