Shiny! You do realize that now I will get absolutely no work done.
Great post! I wish I was at CIL2006. Hello from sunny or SUNY central New York!
Many thanks for posting the links. In case some one wants the Power Point version to remix to show at their own library, it’s linked at http://library.usask.ca/~fichter/
Hi, good list of tools you have there. I realized that you have two web sites for tag clouds. I wanted to provide a third one called http://www.tocloud.com/ which converts a webpage into a keyword cloud and is combined with Google Suggest as a mashup. So, a webmaster can generate a keyword cloud for his website, and then click on each word to see what Google things are the popular searches for each of those keywords!
