Word It Out
creates word clouds out of any text that you paste into the word cloud
generator. Once the word cloud is created you can customize the size and
color scheme of the cloud. You can also customize the font used in
your word cloud. The feature of Word It Out that I like the best is that you can choose to have Word It Out ignore any word or words you choose. Ignoring words keeps them out of the word cloud.
