“TagCrowd is a web application for visualizing word frequencies in any user-supplied text by creating what is popularly known as a tag cloud or text cloud.

It was created by Daniel Steinbock, a doctoral student in Design and Education at Stanford University…

When we look at a tag cloud, we see not only a richly informative, beautiful image that communicates much in a single glance. We see a whole new approach to text.

TagCrowd is being used far beyond the online realm:

    * as topic summaries for speeches and written works
    * as visual summaries for survey data mining
    * as name tags for conferences, cocktail parties or wherever new collaborations start
    * as resumes in a single glance
    * as visual poetry

The list goes on and continues to grow…

Our mission is to push the innovation envelope for tagging into online and face-to-face communities of all stripes.”

TagCrowd From the poem by Dorothy Parker … Ballade at Thirty Five

quote by Thomas Haynes Bayly

Ballade at Thirty-five

      This, no song of an ingénue,
This, no ballad of innocence;
This, the rhyme of a lady who
Followed ever her natural bents.
This, a solo of sapience,
This, a chantey of sophistry,
This, the sum of experiments, –
I loved them until they loved me.

Decked in garments of sable hue,
Daubed with ashes of myriad Lents,
Wearing shower bouquets of rue,
Walk I ever in penitence.
Oft I roam, as my heart repents,
Through God’s acre of memory,
Marking stones, in my reverence,
“I loved them until they loved me.”

Pictures pass me in long review,–
Marching columns of dead events.
I was tender, and, often, true;
Ever a prey to coincidence.
Always knew I the consequence;
Always saw what the end would be.
We’re as Nature has made us — hence
I loved them until they loved me.

Dorothy Parker
