Wordle has a cool word cloud generator which gives a nice cloud view of all the text in a particular document, blog or, website. It may seem like a frivolous tool, but I find it rather insightful.

From a planning perspective you can tweak your message if the right words do not seem to be highlighted as you’d like. Take a look at this blogs word cloud:
