Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
Wordle is real good one...

I am very happy to Blog that Google has started its cloud computing. Today Google has launched its “App Engine”. This was something I was waiting for last 2 years. I just registered my self for this service. We will see what the features it has?
For the time being Google has released software SDK for this, which simulates exactly the same kind of environment as actual engine (which will run on Google machines).
Best part of this new service is that it is free to get started, test the functionality and then you can go for the hosting. Now I am telling you than people will come up with whole big out-of-the-box applications for this new service.
This engine is of-course cloud computing enabled, you can scale your infrastructure as per your need, and which is the biggest benefit of cloud computing.
Google left Amazon far behind in this service, lets see how Microsoft is coming up with.
