Don’t understand why this self-proclaimed “tech-yapping” site keeps going on about the weather? “Clouds” in our context refer to visual collections of user-generated text descriptions. Check out what Wikipedia has to say about it here.
Look to the right. See those sections for “Category Cloud” and “Tag Cloud”? Those are keywords or phrases I’ve used to describe my content (or perhaps future content). Their size is determined by the number of times those words/phrases have been used on this site to-date. Clicking on a word or phrase should take you to a list of posts I’ve used them for. So if you’re interested in tales of business woe, for example, check out the “Once Upon a Mission Statement” option.
Now I admit I haven’t done an ideal job of using self-explanatory phrases. But as time goes on the most commonly-used, and therefore (hopefully) the most intriguing, searched-for and commented on words and phrases will naturally float to the top and the users of the site will be able to use the cloud to quickly identify key issues and trending topics.
