Tool: Tagul http://tagul.com/
Review:
Tagul allows you to create and customize word clouds. You can save your word clouds in tagul to access later. The clouds can be downloaded as images, you can embed them in web pages. The tagul store offers various items that you can have your word clouds printed on.
Tagul is fairly easy to use. You create a free account and can begin creating clouds. Enter the text you would like to use in the table. You can customize the size of your words, colors, font, angles, and shape of your word cloud. There are so many options it can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but I found it to be a lot of fun to play around with. Personally, I liked it much better than wordle.
Recommended Use for Public Health Messaging:
Tagul is different than other word cloud generators in that you can tag the words with urls. This can be used in public health messaging to lead users additional information. Instead of just being a "nice to look at" word cloud, it becomes an interactive tool.
