Tagul

I just found a cool new way to display word clouds: Tagul. Tagul works a bit differently than Wordle, because it doesn't just create an image; instead, it creates a Flash animation in which each of the words (tags) acts as a link, with the default being a link to a Google search for the tag.



In this Tagul, I used this website as the basis for the text, "blacklisted" words like 'that' and 'and' to create a more interesting set of tags, and set the font and colors to be displayed.

ETA: Oops! I thought the linking to a Google search was a default, but I was wrong, and made doubly so when I didn't think to test this feature. Clearly, I've got a bit more exploration of Tagul to do in order to create a Tagul that actually links to something.
