Have you heard of the website www.wordle.net. The website describes it as "a toy for generating 'word clouds' from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes." As a writer, I find it a fascinating piece of software because if you plug a piece of your own writing into Wordle, it will give you a graphic picture of what you have written. One more way, and a nice one, to get a sense of a piece you have written.
To try Wordle for yourself, just go to www.wordle.net.
