Web Art 101...

Well, I have Cara to thank for this:

Photobucket

It's a custom word cloud application called "Wordle" that takes the text from any webpage and makes art out of it. Mine is generated from this blog, as of today (you probably already figured that out). You should go try it yourself.

I used a different application to try this for my tags (if you checked in here in the last couple of days, you may have seen it) but wasn't happy with the result. Instead of just clouding tags, it clouded everything on the page, and not as pretty as Wordle does. If you know of anything that might work, I'm in the market, as it were. ;o)

I'm going to make one out of the front page of the New York Times, just for giggles.
