I got an email back very quickly from Jonathon Feinburg, the creator of Wordle, about my inquiry into offering prints or posters for sale with your Wordles on them. He said it would violate the terms of his agreement with IBM to make money off of Wordle. @mmcvey: Did you just take a screenshot of the wordle to get it to where you could print it?

I just dropped every column into the one text box - too easy. I used Wordle recently to create the cover art for a collection of my columns I will bind as a Christmas present.

I'm not sure if it has great instructional value, but I do enjoy playing with it. I actually just emailed the creator of Wordle suggesting that he start allowing people to buy prints and posters of their word clouds. I'd pay for some I've made (depending on the price). @Tim: It certainly is a fun little tool. I’m not sure if it has great instructional value, but I do enjoy playing with it.

However, I began to realize a little of the power that comes from such a simple application when I watched my wife playing with it for several hours, coming up with some interesting, artistic designs. She's tech savvy but not one who uses these kinds of things just for the geek of it. :-) When I saw Wordle, I thought it was a cute little tool.
