It's a pretty cool tool, though no match for substance and deep thinking. But a good "hook" or conversation starter about a speech, book, or passage.

Great to see you posting on UTT! I WISH I were working with you and Jeff this year, although our tech team here at ZIS is pretty stellar. I've tried convincing them that one of them needs to attend Learning 2.008, alas, I think we'll go unrepresented there. Hey I wonder if anyone's made a Wordle of Obama's convention speech? Maybe I'll try it! Cool, take care.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('143318','Jason Welker','Dennis,\r\n\r\nWelcome! Great to see you posting on UTT!

Love the Wordle using the Martin Luther King speech. I'd love to enlarge that, laminate it and use it as a poster. Looking forward to meeting you in Shanghai in a couple of weeks.
