Ive always been apt to keeping up with the trends in technology, and I think tag clouds are one of the more interesting things to come out of Web2.0, often associated with the emergence of internet powerhouses like flickr and BitTorrent.

Websites like top500 contentdesk, flickr, technorati and techcrunch are places where you can find some of the most often viewed tag clouds.

The things people are conjuring up in their minds organically shift inside the tag clouds on these web sites You can peruse subjects by tags that other people have divided various nuggets of knowledge under. The idea is people tag sites, photos and blogs with meaningful keywords, and then, they become publicly available.

AuctionCloud.com and Newzingo are a couple of other informative web sites taking advantage of the flexible marketing clout tag clouds can wield. The former allows you view popular searches on Ebay, while the second keeps you updated on the top Google News stories. AuctionCloud.com in particular poses some possibly profitable scenarios for competitive research in the amorphous arena of internet marketing tools.

Some tools that I determined to be quite useful are TagCrowd.com which allows you to paste in your own text, maybe blurb,an email,an article,journal entry,etc, and see a cloud view of the word density, and CloudAlicio.us which is an imaginative time archive of del.icio.us bookmarks.

Take some time and play with some of these fresh internet marketing strategies and examine their data to see what types of internet marketing insight and trends you can unearth to augment the vision for your business.
