collaborative wordle

[Kate]

Hi, I would like to use wordie in my university classroom. Is it
possible to create a collaborative setting where students type in
words independently, but they appear on one wordle? My idea is pose a
question, and get the students to type in the words they think most
answers the question. I would show the combined 'knowledge' to the
class, discussing why some ideas or words were more popular than
others.

Any ideas?

Kate,
You will need some sort of input system that will aggregate the
results either to a text file or to a web page with an rss feed that
wordle can read. Wordle can not do this by itself.
I do not know much about this but just brainstorming...perhaps you
could use a Google Docs form to take input from the students, or set
up a blog that all of their inputs go to. Maybe Twitter somehow?

If I am not mistaken, I believe The Washington Post recently used
Wordle in such a manner:
