I did a quick search for more info on them and didnt turn up a thing. I'd love to know how mac users make use of this feature, if at all. That may make an interesting usability study too. of course, i remember that from my old mac days. i believe that UI is as old as Apple itself.

This could be represented as a mini <b>treemap</b> perhaps if you can create some grid elements. im pushing it i know. ;) sketch 2: There is something about displaying the tags in longer strings, or rows that makes them way more readable. When you take the scale element out of the visualization, they cease to become as pictographic as they are in sketch 1. It is not really a tagcloud anymore. This really makes me wonder about the use of scale and how it should be treated in the tagcloud. sketch 1: you seem to have alot of control over the secondary display, a perfect circle suggests you can arrange the text in a variety of ways. the next step might be to try another tagcloud in there. a cloud within a cloud!

People using the product so far are losing the concept of hierarchies, which is good for everyone!

I'm glad you did the trackback! I didn't know tagging was being implemented into Windows Vista. Excellent news! Thanks! I came across your post via your trackback. I’m glad you did the trackback!
