Title

Cloudalicious - Watching Tag Clouds Over Time

Description

About

This visualization tool first began calling my name in January 2005. I was considering how to show the shifts of the del.icio.us/url/ pages through time.

I was calling these lists and counts of tags “Tag Profiles”. I wrote a screen scraper called “TASTY” that I’ve been running since February 1, 2005. I’ll probably turn it off now, as it was rendered moot by the realization that all historical posting data can be gathered and reconstructed and doesn’t need to be snagged as time passes. It only took me over four months of thinking about this. Bah.

It became clear when seeing Carlos Rincon Sanchez’s Grafolicious tool. I immediately thumped myself on the head and wrote Cloudalicious, the title of which was inspired by Pietro Speroni’s post On Tag Clouds, Metric, Tag Sets and Power Laws.
