Wordmark.It

 Let's face facts.  We are all perfectionist when it comes to picking the right fonts.  The choices seem so limitless, from the classically unoriginal Times New Roman to the overindulging Comic San.  There are hundreds of choices on your computer, so why is it so frustrating finding the right one? 

Wordmark.it is a tool to end your hours of searching/suffering. It's a free website that scans your computer's installed fonts and displays them in a simple visual grid for easy browsing.

Many of you are familiar with the word cloud generator, Wordle, but if you are a visual learner I believe you will enjoy Tagxedo.  Tagxedo turns words -- famous speeches, news articles, lyrics, slogans and themes -- into stunning artwork.  Tagxedo is not so much an alternative to Wordle, it is a leap forward in both layout and design.
