Bot Morpheus had too much of a delay in responding and it was hard to talk to.
Bell can be amusing for a few moments. It provides basic responses.
Jenny was mostly worthless. If you ask in long and meaningful sentences, as suggested, it tells you to look it up. If you ask something short it does not know what to say.
Shakespeare didn't work at all; I tried three times.
Santa has an obvious use for children and it does offer, for purchase, your own bot. I suppose its Santa too but it did not state that clearly.
By the time I got to Eliza the bots are looking pretty much like one another. They are all built to the same specs and say the same boring things.

Marc is about the same. It just has a different format.

Wordle is easy to use.
VocabGrabber – is a tool that may be more useful in a classroom (http://www.visualthesaurus.com/vocabgrabber/). While it lacks the flashy pictures and clouds that Wordle can create, it has substance in creating lessons that can be used to really understand a word passage. VocabGrabber analyzes text and generates lists of the most useful vocabulary words then displays how those words are used in context. Copy text from a document and paste it into the box, and click Grab Vocabulary! VocabGrabber will automatically create a list of vocabulary from the text, which can be sorted, filtered, and saved. Click on any word in the cloud and a snapshot of the Visual Thesaurus map appears along with definitions for that word, and examples of the word in the text. The trial version is limited but a lesson can be created easily. Subjects include academic areas of interest (Arts & Literature, Science, and Social Studies), names of historical figures and places (People and Geography), and words that are of particular importance for language learners at all levels (Vocabulary).
Wordsift has a handy feature in that you can drag a picture into the text you paste.
Cf. http://www.wordsift.com/
http://www.abcya.com/word_clouds.htm is the most colorful.
