Site Review: Wordle.net

       The scramble of this article by Wordle.

Last day I was browsing through fun websites when I accidentally stumbled upon this site: http://wordle.net. It asks you to paste a bunch of text and it will generate a random Wordle, that is, random text infographic. It uses Java Runtime Applet and it produces the corresponding picture. One of the major flaws is that you cannot save the image into your computer, as the image is generated by Java Applet. The site's webmaster says it can't be helped in the FAQ. I took a print out. The result is disappointing. Normally users have a A4 printer category, and it prints on landscape mode and not potrait by default. Although you can change it, new users will be confused. 

Otherwise, it's worth paying a visit to http://wordle.net.
