Tip: Upside down status messages

In the last week, I started seeing people with the upside down status messages on Facebook and Twitter. I was baffled because these are just plain text, no images allowed. It seemed like a fun idea for the right status message. So I asked one of my friends who used in in the last couple of days. He pointed me to: http://www.sevenwires.com/play/UpsideDownLetters.html Essentially the site, sevenwires.com, has a translator tool that recreates a normal sentance into unicode characters. Here is how they describe it:

How does this tool flip text up side down and backward? The Javascript program converts English letters to unicode characters and symbols that look inverted, to make it look like you've created upside-down text on the computer.
Give it a shot. It's a fun way to post your status messages. Expect a few questions from your friends.

Thanks, I was searching for a way to do this and found your post. But I wanted to rotate not the entire chunk of text, but each letter individually so that you can still read it from left to right. After a little more digging, I found an upside down text site that gives me the extra "reverse" option to do what I wanted. Might be useful to some other people out there!
