Pulling the Tag Cloud 1
I've pulled the my tag cloud off of the sidebar of the blog, as I'm not finding it to be a very good way to visualize data about what I'm writing about. As you can see:
the web2.0 tag is so big in this cloud that everything else gets swallowed up. I still think that tags are a good way to classify information, but the whole cloud growth idea seems to be flawed once one topic gets too much traction. Perhaps we could have a cloud where all of the words are the same size, but they have different intensities. Or maybe I just need to write less about web2.0. :)

Matthew Hurst about 1 hour later:I like the idea of using colour rather than size to indicate intensity.
