Someone please tell me: how are these useful? They function by counting the number of times words appear on a website- the more often the word appears, the bigger the font of the word in the tag cloud.
So, they don't capture ideas at all- they're just counting the number of times the word appears on the site.
When you click on a word in the tag cloud, honestly, what are you expecting to happen? I would expect that you would go to a search results page with all instances of the word listed out as if you'd searched for the word.
So, then my next question is this: every website seems to have these now and the words that are in the cloud...well, I'd never use the search function on a website to search for "learning", for example.
Nor "students"
Nor "Technology"
These are just lame. Please stop using them. And it's not just my opinion- all of my clients think they're lame, too.
