Have you Wordled yet?

Google is a web application that is now regularly used as a verb. Another web tool that looks set to follow this trend is Wordle. It generates “word clouds” from text that you provide, giving greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. Then the clouds can be tweaked with with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The resulting images can be printed or shared via the Wordle gallery.

A number of Christian bloggers have created Wordles from Bible books and passages, for example:
* The Beatitudes (which Emmanuel Church studied over the summer)
* Philippians (forthcoming sermon series at Holy Trinity, Leicester)
