Visualizing attention; TweetCloud.com

Many of you have seen tag clouds on the sidebars of blogs across the blogosphere. They are visualizations usually showing the relationship between categories and the frequency they are used. If you're looking to see what has a blogger's attention, this is a good way to do it (you can see my tag cloud to the right).

I love that tag clouds give you another way to see the data. It's more interactive and is a great way to show attention. A new site called Tweet Cloud has taken the tag cloud idea and integrated it with Twitter. In the service, you go on, enter your name and the service creates a cloud for you. The bigger the word, the more frequent it has been used.

Here is the Tweet Cloud that I created from my account:

Take a peek, enter some of your top Twitter friends and see what has their attention.
