This is another Wordcloud I made out of a favorite song of mine. "Bwomp" by Mushroomhead.
This is a word could I made using the song "My Child" by Disturbed. I made this cloud on Wordle.com. These are very cool because it's cool to see what you favorite song or poem will turn out in this format. It can be useful as well. You can use it to identify the words you use too much in a paper for example. The words that you type in more than others will be the biggest, so you can look and try to reduce the use of the words and replace them with synonyms. That's just one example though. I'm sure other people will find many other uses.

This is a word cloud I created using ImageChef. This tool lets you put in any words you want and it automatically turns them into a cool design like the one above. You can also make the words into an Initials design. You put in two letters and then the words and it will make them into the initials. This could be used mostly for recreational purposes, as I used it for. This is an amazing tool and I will definitely be using it in the future.

Symbaloo

Symbaloo is a site that you use to organize your favorite websites. You can take all of your sites and make tiles for them, then you put all of the tiles on a page. This page is very useful if you put it as your homepage, then you do not have to keep typing URL's. All you'll have to do is click on the panel for the website and you can be at the website.

Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us is a website where you can share and explore your and your friends' favorite links to websites. You use this to remember all of your favorite websites in case you forget. Your friends can go onto your page and check out your links and vice-versa.

New Social Virtual World...SmallWorld!

SmallWorlds is a virtual world where you can socialize with other people. You make a customizable avatar, walk around with people, play games, and other activities. It is similar to Meez but in this one you can actually do something other than sitting and talking. This is a pretty fun website.

Social Bookmarking Sites

Diigo is a Social Bookmarking site. You can use it to bookmark your favorite sites, sites you need to remember, or anything like that. It is incredibly useful and I can see myself using it for research and bookmarking my site that I use to learn new yo-yo tricks and such. Especially since I forget it most of the time. Also, you can highlight text that you see and like then they will be posted on your Diigo page for others to see. The last feature of Diigo is Sticky Notes. You can go to a site, place a sticky note on it, and other people who use Diigo can see them and comment. This tool is extremely useful.

This is a Meez chat room. They are fun to go into and socialize with friends or strangers! There are interactive items ( example: the highlighted table in the bottom right corner). It lets you watch youtube videos and Hulu! You can customize your room with furniture, etc. This is very fun for socializing!

Meez 3D avatar avatars games
This is a Meez. They are animated Avatars that you can customize and have fun with. You play games to earn points to spend on new clothes. There are downfalls to this site though, it isn't all free. Most of the clothing and animations cost points or real money. The clothes are also a problem, they don't appeal to all people. Instead they focus on the Hip-Hop and Emo/Goth scene.
