What’s the Wordle for it?

I read Nature’s The Great Beyond blog when I get time and today they introduced me to a neat little tool called Wordle. Wordle is no rocket science. It’s a simple tool that generates “word clouds”. The fun is that it does that from any text that you paste into it.

Since I happened to have Quran translation in a text file, I decided to give it a try. I removed the header, chapter/verse numbers, etc and reformatted the actual translation into a single line and fed that to Wordle (it wouldn’t take all the text otherwise). Here is what came out:

Neat, eh?

Of course, there is a Wordle for King James Version of the Bible. Do you see any resemblance between the two?

I also liked the Wordle for Ipsum. Look around the gallery for more fun stuff.
