Tag Clouds

Ever heard of a tag cloud? Chances are that you've seen one on the web and thought "well that is a cool visual!"

A tag cloud (aka text cloud) takes a bit of text (for my example, I'm using my entire blog) and chooses words that are used frequently. The more frequent that you see the word in the text, the larger the word appears.

I googled "tag clouds" to find out how to build one of these cool contraptions and found a couple website that would help. TagCrowd.com was one.

Check it out! As you can see, "technology" is the most used word in my blog (duh!).

Surf on over to TagCrowd and make one of your own!
