We all know that a cloud is a large moving body of water droplets in the sky; the interesting shapes capture our attention and imagination (“I see a bunny!”). Have you heard of a “tag cloud”? Have you seen a tag cloud? This NEKLS technology blog actually has a tag cloud. Notice the category listing on the right-hand side of this page? These are the categories we assign to our NEKLS Technology blog posts. The more frequently a particular category or tag has been used, the larger it will appear in the “cloud”. We obviously think that a lot of our postings are “Simply Cool” 
— the benefit of a tag cloud is its ability to demonstrate the popularity of a particular topic. Wikipedia has an article on tag clouds if you want to learn more. What do you think? Useful or not?
