Wordle: Very straightforward and easy to use
WordSift: Super fast word cloud generator - focused on the response, not the design - great for quick activities
Tagul: Each word in the final product is attached to a Google search of the term
Tagxedo: This tool allows for the most customization of the final product; however, you must install Microsoft Silverlight (free) to use it. When you select “Create” you will be led through the installation process.
