Wordle is a simple tool you can use to generate a graphic that looks like a tag cloud. You can type or paste in some text, and Wordle will analyze it to see how often each word in the text appears. Then it generates a graphic with the most common words appearing in different sizes to match the word frequency. You can even input a color scheme so that the graphic you end up with matches whatever else you have in your site. Pretty slick.
