Use vertical text with an assortment of wiggly selectors on the various parameters such as color, opacity, scale etc. or get the plugin Steve mentioned or get Particular from Trapcode or get particleIllusion and so on. There's a milllion ways and techniques.

On the CD which came with the first of the Meyer's books was a tutorial by Richard Lainhart on how to achieve the effect with Particle Playground (which is not a 3rd party plug-in, so it doesn't cost you anything).
While it's a long process, it got me interested in Particle Playground and solely because of that tutorial I began to see the power of PP and use it to its full potential. So I recommend tracking down Richard's tutorial (do yourself a favour and buy the book) and not just achieving the result you want, but also learning about a great plug-in too.
But I also have the Digital Anarchy plug-in that Steve mentioned and it's great and much quicker.

Type some words and apply the preset animation "Raining Characters in", then position them the way you want. Apply "Echo" and play with it.
Create many different layers with these effects each using different characters, position and size.

Do you know the name of the book? I'm interested in getting it...
