Nifty. It always bothered me that Wordle required Java.
Really cool. And you have also shared the technology used in the site. May be you could blog about the development life cycle detailing some of the rationale for selecting a given tech. Kind of like making of Wispy. I am sure many of the us will get benefited out of that.
may be a bug or twitter quota has exceeded?

To do this with Wordle, I have to use a word processor & spreadsheet to count the words, and specify the RGB color for each (all the same except the few I want to stand out, however common/rare). The "common words" removal becomes problematic when the words to highlight are in that removal list (say, when rendering a speech by the Obama to highlight frequency of "I", "my", "me", etc.). Ergo, would be nice to render all words no matter how rare, specify default and per-word colors without marking all, and indicate specific exemptions from the "common words" list.
My twitter account (@vraa) is not protected. But when I tried, I got an error message "Whoops, either that twitter user does not exist, or their account is protected, try someone else.". tried both vraa and @vraa without success! may be a bug or twitter quota has exceeded?
* Add handling for hashtags (overriding the min character length)
* Slightly more complicated: consider adding click detection on mentions, replies, and hashtags to link to their perspective urls. This would be a very neat addition.
