I liked both Gliffy and Bubbl.us. I liked the fact that I could just go to the web site and start using the tools, no signup required. That means I could have students do quick projects using these tools without the hassle of creating accounts. Students could use this as presentations or tools to display information in a presentation. They could use them as individuals or as group work. Both tools could be used to help organize and plan projects or ways to display their understanding of the topics. Both are visual tools that can help the visual learner and give teachers another tool for presentations. Wordly and Tagxedo can be used as part of presentations, ways to review subjects or ways to study student terms. They could also be used to highlight important topics such as a way to summarize or review topics. I have had students use wordle to study spelling words.
I really like the way you can save from Tagxedo and choose the formats, that is a big bonus over Wordle. Both are fun tools though.
