The value of tag clouds is that they give us an excellent visual representation of the words, phrases, or tags that we’re using most often. You’ll often see them on blog sidebars, or on folksonomy-built sites such as Flickr and Delicious.

My new favorite blogger and Twitter pal, Sam Lawrence, blogged yesterday about a new site called Tweetclouds, which creates nifty tag clouds based on the content of all of our Twitter posts.

Sam suggested I create a Tweetcloud of my own. So I did.

It seems I like Twittering about social media breakfasts — and Twitter itself.

Creating tag clouds is a snap

In the same post, Sam also pointed to another tool, TagCrowd, that makes the tag-cloud-creation process a breeze. Just link to any website or paste/upload a snippet of text, and TagCrowd will whip up a tag cloud for you.

Here’s one I created from Chris Brogan’s recently-published Building Community Around Your Blog (PDF file).
