I was somewhat disappointed with this. Perhaps it was just me, but my reaction was that the value I gleaned from this would have taken about 5-10 minutes to share if it had been more organized. Things I found interesting:
- website that creates tag cloud from a body of text - www.tagcrowd.com
- resource you can put on your own website and use to create tag clouds - zoomclouds
- games - ESP game aka Google Image labeler - kind of cool, but I can't begin to imagine the day when I have enough free time to look for things to do, like ESP
- advice for tagging - this was my question going in, which was finally answered at the very end - no real advice or right/wrong way to tag - spontaneity is best
I apologize if I'm offending anyone or being too harsh. In all honesty, this is the first time I felt one of our listening/reading assignments wasn't worth the time, so that's pretty good compared to most classes, especially considering this is the first time for this class.

You sure aren't offending me. I'm convinced now that I won't be using this talk again. I use tagcrowd in some of my papers to see what overarching lexical themes emerge. The longer the paper, the better this works.
