SharePoint Tag Cloud Web Part - Updated August 14, 2009
SharePoint Tag Cloud Web Part
 With this first version of the SharePoint Tag Cloud Web Part, you can create a tag cloud -- based on tags YOU set up. The tags reflected in this display aren't coming from your users, or from content (e.g. lists or libraries) associated with the Web Part. You will need to manually enter all of the tags that appear in your tag cloud.
Here's an example of what you could do that would be useful. Let's say that you have a list or library that contains documents or articles related to all of the products offered by your company. Let's further say that you would like to get a sense of which products are the most popular with your users based on how often they navigate to the supporting documentation. With this version of the Bamboo Tag Cloud Web Part you could create a tag cloud using the names of your products. As users click through these tags to the associated documents, the tag cloud will begin to reflect relative interest in the various products by incrementing the font size of the most popular tags.
