Week 4, Thing 11, Subjct: TagCloud v. Wordle

I was able to get into TagCloud and used my blog as a source to cloud words. It was very interesting to see what word choices were uses. I was not able to Wordle to work and after several "fixes" continued to get error messages. It looked like Wordle had better graphics than TagCloud. They both allowed for choices in word count and had several other features such as frequency of word use. The tutorial was useful in demonstrating how a word cloud could be used in the classroom for examining text. One note was that the words are different from Tags in that they are not links in the document. I bet that can be done too. I was not able to find a way to save my word cloud. But I did enjoy reviewing it.
