My Take
I love Tagxedo! It is my favorite Word Wall creating tool! I prefer Tagxedo over Wordle because Tagxedos can be saved, and also, Tagxedo Word Walls can be created in shapes.
How I Use It
As a computer teacher, I have used Tagxedo in many collaborative projects with my fellow classroom teachers. For instance, last school year we celebrated Earth Day in the 5th Grade class by creating Tagxedo in the shape of something "green", such as a tree or flower, etc. The students used "green" words to create their word art, like recycle, upcycle, mother earth, don't litter, no pollution, etc. They came out beautiful!

Tagxedo is an excellent way for students to express themselves AND learn about their writing style.
I really enjoy using this product with students. It's not as user friendly as I would like, and it does have a small learning curve. It would certainly be best for the teacher to explore the site and create their own word cloud before having students use the site. Other than that, it is an engaging learning tool that is free, easy, and can be used for many writing activities. I also like that there is a gallery of Tagxedos created by other users, and it is easy to share Tagxedos with others.
