Well, like most firsts... Someone always comes along and takes the idea of the inventor and adds more bells and whistles to impress lookers! As is the case with this... Wordle was cool, but Tagul is cooler!! There are so many more custom features to Tagul... I earned more brownie points with my scrapbooking wife and mother on this Mother's Day weekend! I copied and pasted some Mother's Day poems off line into the text box on Tagul's website, picked a shape to fit my text into, chose a text font or two to combine, added a few more things while omitting the frequently used words. Tagul also has a preview box so you can see what your changes did before you share your word cloud. So, in my opinion Tagul is head and shoulders above Wordle, but I still like the name "Wordle" better!

I love a two-fer... homework and Mothers Day. Great review/testimonial of word cloud software. I can tell you enjoy the playfulness of these programs and pass that on to your students. I can only imagine the fun you have in class with these tools.
