[...] To begin making word clouds, you need to register, then you can create and save up to 10 word clouds, as well as creating embed codes for each which you can use on any website or blog post. “Each tag in a Tagul cloud is linked with a URL and is “clickable”in that it enables visitors to use it for navigation…. Tagul also has some features that Wordle doesn’t, like custom shapes selection and multiple fonts usage in one cloud.” (Tagul website) [...]

Alex, Did you ever think of doing anything educational with tagul? I love wordle, but it’s not really educationally appropriate because people can post whatever they want. My school loves to use them and as a teacher, I would like to see if my kids could accounts as well.
You know, I didn’t. Educational use is not a priority for Tagul, but I’d love to know that Tagul is used for teaching kids. I don’t know educational needs well and don’t know how to make Tagul educational friendly, so I would appreciate if you specify what needs to be done and I will see what I can do.
As an educator – I would love to use Tagul with vocabulary lessons to capture my students’ immediate interest! I am just a newbie here, so lots to learn…I am having fun doing so!
please consider allowing a free educator account version o this software.
here are just a few links that i pulled together quickly but there are many more and lots of educators at all levels using the tool.

Alex, this tool is powerful for education. Students can produce quick and meaningful presentations and study aids that are current and cool. They also work very well on “interactive whiteboards.” Many great web tools are free for K-12 education, so thank you for providing such a creative alternative for students and teachers.
I love the idea of Wordle and Tagul because it gives weighting for the importance of words. I would really like to create a word cloud where the words are clickable and then go to a place where there is a definition of the word, a bit like a Wiki! Can Tagul do this?
Sure it can be done with Tagul. You should use API mode to obtain the full control of your cloud.
Alex, this site is a blessing! I am in the heart of North Philadelphia with 10 year old Dell computers. My kids love this site! They are graffiti crazy! We will use the site as a reflection tool too summarize what the kids have learned in class. Where do we post the clouds?

It is supposed that you post clouds on a web page. But as I can see from your description it is not your case. You can just grab a screen shot and save it as an image for your purposes. You can also check out http://wordle.net, it is cool as well.
I get it. Tagul is not a replacement for Wordle, but has a different purpose.
I like to compare articles about the same event from different newspapers to look for points of view and biases with Wordle.
Tagul would really be useful for projects I do with students both in K-12 and at the college level.
I’ll let you know what comes up as I begin to use Tagul.
Hi Alex,
thanks a lot for your great work. Hav you considered to release this as free software? You can still make money and additionally, make this world a bit better. Imagine how community can improve your work … and you’ll get a great success and impact on internet media. Well, I’m just an user, and I would like yo see your code working on lots of places. Unfortunately, I will not pay when Tagul (sounds like Nazgul, the black monster-birds at The Lord of the Rings …) finally go propietary …I’m just an user, and not very wealthy X-)
anyway, thanks a lot and great work!

all i can say is WOW!!!
As an educator I can see many uses for Tagul. Having been in business many years I also see the need to make a profit. I think with Tagul there is room for both…possibly with advertising as a source of revenue. I think the number of hits Tagul is going to receive is going to sky rocket soon.
