the Tag Cloud and Tags (graffiti): Revision

Another cool tool is the "Tag Cloud"

 

The Tag Cloud can be seen on many pages, but is best seen on the "Activity" page.  Look on the Right-hand column, half way down the page under "Tag Cloud"  In the box below that, you will see words of various sizes and colors.  This is a graphical representation of the various "Tags" that members have put on their posts.  The more often a Tag is entered, the larger it appears in the cloud.  If the modern world had a tag cloud for what is on everyone's mind, the words "SEX" and "MONEY" would be huge (because everyone is interested in it and creating thoughts (tags) to it).  Whereas, there are people thinking about "belly-button lint" (so you will see it in the tag cloud, click if interested) but it is shown in a small font.

For example the word "Ivanpah" is very small, but clicking on it will show you all instances on the site where Ivanpah, Nevada desert is mentioned.

 

Remember that the size of the text (for example "Ivanpah") does not relate to how often members are clicking on it (in fact, I suspect, if Trike Pilots read this, Ivanpah, will be clicked on more often).  The size of the text relates to how many times that word was entered as a "Tag" word when that content was posted!

 

If the word "The" had a Tag cloud it would be in HUGE letters.  However, if members were given the choice to give the word "The" or "SEX" a thumbs up, "the" would get no likes.

 

The = Big but Trike Pilots not raving about it.   SEX = Big and Trike Pilots Raving about it.

 

Summary:

            Tag Cloud----- Big Words = Lots of Articles citing it as a Tag word.

            Thumbs Up---   the more thumbs up, the more Trike Pilots liked the content.
