Hi All, 

I'm doing an evaluation of the publically accessible tag cloud
generators. Tagging is quite popular now, but most of the tagging
activities belong to folksonomy, which users tag manually. Tag cloud
generators are used to create tag clouds automatically. There are
ways to generate a tag cloud:

1. Given a piece of text, create a tag cloud according to the
frequency of the words.
2. Given a URL of a web page, generate a tag cloud based on the
existing links on that web page

I found several tag cloud generators on the web and use them for my
study. Here are these tag cloud generators: 

http://www.tagcloud-generator.com/
http://www.tocloud.com/
http://www.tag-cloud.de/
http://tagcrowd.com/
http://www.artviper.net/texttagcloud/
http://www.wordle.net

Every tag cloud generator has parameter settings, and the outputs
from different generators are in different styles.

If you are interested in, give it a try and tell me what you think
about the generators. Any comments on UI design, generator functions
or the generated tag clouds are welcome and appreciated.

Cheers,
Sarah
