"Maybe this will help," Theresa writes me. She's read the earlier piece about tag clouds.

"A tag cloud is less specific than a category, less precise and messier...but it mirrors more the way people think.  And as the writer, I don't have to imagine how the reader might categorize the entry....I have found that I make connections in a different way than most everyone I know....so instead I can list several key words that will link the entry to other entries that have the same/similar ideas.  It also gives the writer a visual means to measure what is generally covered in the blog...the more entries with that link the bigger the words are in the tag cloud."

Still headed for the clouds....
