okay, I know I am past 10: wordle: this is just so much fun; great to create artwork for a classroom; I create a poster for outside my class door the first day of class. Sarah Davis
Word clouds. Nice for topic starters. Leia Fee
A great web app where you can generate world clouds from the text that you provide. Paste in text, rss url or del.ico.us username. Scott Hewitt

Input some text, then get a highly visual “word cloud” illustrating which words are most frequently used. Throws out some very interesting results when used with famous speeches, poems, constitutional documents. Rusel Tarr
