Thats a really good idea! Tag clouds can be really powerful when executed correctly.

I personally don’t put a ton of stock in tag clouds in general, but John Krutsch is actually committing his mental resources to making TweetClouds.com far more valuable in terms of real data and comparing data.

Hi Sheila,
Congrats on your new position at CETIS by the way!
I haven’t started using twitter yet, but I just love the name, especially when I read sentances like yours: “I twitter in bursts at selected times.” I’m sure we all do…
And a Tweet Cloud sounds to me like an episode of the clangers, I will have to investigate more.
On a similar note to Twittering, despite the amount of scepticism I come across in articles about Facebook, I’m really loving the Facebook status updates, a great way of keeping in touch with friends and finding out all sorts of things. As I’ve only been on Facebook for less than a year, it’s been really interesting to watch certain patterns emerging in the updates around certain times, e.g. a lot of people grumbling about the long dark days of the winter, which I feel leads to the individual feeling part of a collective consciousness (to paraphrase Jung’s notion of the collective subconscious…)

Thanks for the link, Sheila, that’s quite a sweet little tool; I do agree with your thoughts on its real value but at least it’s fun I also really like Tweet Scan http://www.tweetscan.com/index.php, the search tool Twitter really needed.
