TagCrowd

Page history last edited by Brianni 13 years, 1 month ago

TagCrowd is a free web application for visualizing word frequencies in any user-supplied text by creating what is popularly known as a tag cloud or text cloud. Unlike some other text cloud tools, TagCrowd is extremely user-friendly. You are given 3 options of how you would like to use your text: url links, files on your computer, or just pasting blocks of texts into the site.  This ease of use allows users to manipulate their text for multiple purposes.

 

Here, I have taken a paper written for a previous class and used it to create a visualization of the most common words. It’s helpful for students to organize their work and provides, literally, a picture of your words to make sure what is being read is really the message you wish to present.Of course this product is also used for traditional business purposes: as blog tools or website analysis for search engine optimization and as brand clouds that let companies see how they are perceived by the world.

 

TagCrowd is still in BETA, and coupled with it’s simplicity this can actually act as a hindrance to users unfamiliar with HTML and CSS. You have to be familiar with these programming languages in order to edit the style of the tag cloud.
