I think it's cute but I never really got word clouds. I notice the biggest couple of words and then stop reading. I'd much rather see an ordered list of words by frequency, maybe with a bar graph. If you want to change the font size based on frequency that's fine too. But put all the words in the same orientation and show a list as a list and as a cloud.
Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.
