From girdles to Wordles in a single click!

So I'm over at MamaLaw today, yukkin' it up over Justice Ny's run-in with some temperamental lingerie, and I notice something interesting in the nav bar. One of the law ladies (Justice Fergie, I believe) had posted a "Wordle" for the blog.

Of course I-- in my sad fog of technological ignorance-- had absolutely no idea what a Wordle was, so I clicked on the little image to find out more. Definitely one of my best clicks all week!

Wordle.net is a site that generates a word cloud (a really cool customizable word cloud!) based on the most popular words on a blog, a website, or any other text entered. I made a Wordle for Reign and got the image you see over in the nav bar. It turned the words that I use most often here on the blog into a fairly impressive little piece of poetic artwork... if I do say so myself.

The best part is that you can wordle any text; and there's a huge gallery of other people's Wordles that you can browse. Here's one someone did for the word Mother.

In light of our Inaugaration extravaganza last week, here's one for "America The Beautiful"

And here's one for Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech {gasp} goosebumps!

I'm off to play on the site some more. Check it out yourself if you're like me and had no clue what it was until 5 minutes ago. It'll make your day.
