Tagxedo and Wordle

After playing with both "word cloud" creating sites, I like tagxedo better.  I like the shapes and it was much easier to save my cloud with tagxedo.  With wordle, I had to go looking for a tutorial on how to save it and the it was more steps than I cared to do.  I did find a 6 minutes video on youtube where someone was kind enough to walk me through the steps.

I used the same words on both tagxedo and wordle and created these:

tagxedo:

wordle (I needed to reopen this and crop it to get rid of the "print screen" look, but I decided to leave it to show how many extra steps were needed to save this):

I think the word clouds are pretty but I have to admit I was lacking in creativity when it came to imagining how I could use these for a library class.  I looked up "what is wordle good for" and found several slide shows and sites that gave ideas on how the word clouds could be used.
