ORKUT & Olympics

Hi friends,

As you already know about the Google homepage Olympics logos are designed everyday nowadays to get people know about the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.  And, today when I just logged in my ORKUT account, I saw a great dragon logo in the place of simple ORKUT logo on the Orkut login page.

Really a great innovative Olympics logo designed by ORKUT.

Cheers!

Word Clouds for my Blog

Hello everybody!

I just came to know about this fun tool from a blogger and thought to use it for my blog too.

So, just made this word cloud for my blog by Wordle.

About Wordle – It’s a fun web toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide from any blog, blog feed, or any other web page that has an Atom or RSS feed. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes as well. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can also print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Below is the snapshot of the word cloud for this blog.
