Tagul



I've been looking at the use of tag clouds to analyse the content of an online article or an entire website. Tagul is a new site where you can very quickly generate a cloud of words that describe the content of any url that you enter. All you have to do is enter a username and an email address, they then send you a password and you can create up to 20 seperate clouds.

You can view an example of the cloud whilst logged in to the website (if you were doing this with as a demonstration to a class) or you can copy the HTML code and paste it on a page in your blog and the words will actually link to the content they are derived from.
I've created a tag cloud based on the Community Learning and Skills Development Ning; those of you that are members will be taken straight to the page the word is derived from, those that aren't will have to request access to the network first!









Or this one based on my twitter page

Try creating a tag cloud based on your personal page on the Ning or your own blog by going to tagul.com
