Hi, What would be the best and creative way to style the tags?

Ask a designer.

You know, like those big small, very big, very small words under the 'tags' title.

Tag Clouds.

I vaguely remember reading something that tags are invented by technorati,

No, they weren't. But I'm sure they did play a big part in their development. See How Tags Happened as Technorati.

so I went to pay a visit, and totally clueless when I see these in the markup:

<li><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><em><a href="/tag/Bush">Bush</a></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></em></li>
What the hell with all those <em>????

That's how they make them increase in font size. They chose <em> because the more emphasised a tag is, the bigger it should be.

See this CSS.
http://static.technorati.com/static/css/page-tags.css

.heatmap em {font-style: normal; font-size: 1.03em;}

It works because em units compound, so each nested <em> is 1.03em bigger than it's parent.
