Yahoo! Hacks: Visualize News Topics as Tags
Overview With digital information, it's possible to track exactly which words are used more frequently than others. And there are a number of ways one can categorize information to make that tracking easier. One system of categorization is called tagging, in which people add keywords to an article, photo, or web site in order to organize that bit of information. Each keyword is referred to as a tag, and lots of fun can be had analyzing the tags. A popular way to visualize tag usage is in the form of a tag map that displays more popular tags in a larger font. So popular tags appear large, and less-popular tags appear small. With one glance at a tag map, one can see which topics are hot.
