Visualising Tag Clouds

If you haven’t played with Wordle yet, I strongly suggest you point your browser of choice there right now and see what gorgeous visualisations of tags it comes up with. This is my delicious tag cloud …

… this is the tag cloud for this blog …

… and this is the tag cloud for the blog I write for work.

All of which were produced using the default settings, with no tweaking, shows just how varied my personal approach to tagging is and how strongly tied to usage my tags are.
