Tagul is a free word cloud generator . It is one of my favorite web2.0 tools .What makes Tagul specific is the fact that words in Tagul clouds can be linked to word in Google search .When you click on any word you will be directed to a Google result page . Tagul clouds are created from text that is copied into your account and not only that you can also create word cloud from any URL that you specify .
