Time to play.

Had some fun with Wordle. After playing with TweetStats yesterday, wanted to get those tags and use them in Wordle. Unfortunately they weren’t weighted. So result is a bit bland but still fun.

Wordle is set up to link with del.icio.us and because it does weight those tags, the result is much more impressive!

Embedding in a blog post requires a little editing of embed code – need to take out all the spaces.

Could be used to introduce a topic in class? As result of a discussion thread?

It was as easy as dragging & dropping. In the past I’ve run my own installation of Wordpress and it involved some delicate cutting & pasting in the theme .php files to add things like this in the sidebar. So am loving edublogs already!

Have decided to name my del.icio.us widget Flotsam. Not in the sense of junk, rather “fragments of many things.”
