Wordle and the State of the Union

Very interesting website (http://www.wordle.net/) that creates "word clouds" from a source of text. I heard about this on C-Span tonight as they did one for the President's State of the Union Address. Here's a link to the actual site:

Here's another one mentioned on C-Span--it's called a word tree (from a website called Many Eyes). It essentiall takes the complete text and allows you to select a specific word and then the word tree visually reveals all of the connections in that speech to that particular word. You can link to it here:
