This well off topic (OK, there is a list for this but hey, got to keep things rolling along. After a hell of a day sorting out report issues for everybody else at school) I had an interesting discussion with my junior IT class talking about the value of tagging and social networking. Some had never really noticed the value of the tags used with YouTube. We had fun examining the ABC news tag cloud and playing with Wordle <a href="http://www.wordle.net/">http://www.wordle.net</a> to farm words that I use in my reports .. and new VITTA resource portal although you will need to login to see it.<br>
<br>Anyway, here is a tag cloud that I just made with <a href="http://tweetcloud.icodeforlove.com">http://tweetcloud.icodeforlove.com</a> that analyses your twitter posts to
determine the most popular burning topics and keywords. My technicians
had a bit of fun playing about with it and here is my cloud for November.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img title="90631864380bdc78c8c5d87bd85dfbc6.png" alt="90631864380bdc78c8c5d87bd85dfbc6.png" src="http://tweetcloud.icodeforlove.com/userclouds/90631864380bdc78c8c5d87bd85dfbc6.png"><br>
