It's a very cool site. I've played with it for 20 minutes straight! :)
I can't stop playing with it either.

The problem I have with the site is that there is no good/easy way to export your creations. The best output method is to save as PDF and then extract from there. I wish there was a way to save as a vector image.
You could always capture it and then trace t in Ai.

A PDF *is* a vector image.
I see what you are saying now, my browser wouldn't open the print window before. Keep in mind that not all .PDFs are vector images.

Looks like someone is already using this to make money. I came across this JQuery t-shirt on Cameron Moll's site today.
I couldn't make any sense out of it!

As part of TweetStats, it pulls my Twitter feed and uses all the words from my Tweets. While it may seem useless, it's quite helpful to me. The more times a word appears in my Tweets, the larger the word is in the Wordle artwork. This tells me what I'm Tweeting about most often - and forces me to diversify. Plus it shows me trends. I create a new Wordle graphic every couple of weeks, so I see what the most popular topics of discussion were at any given time because I save the files by date.
