With so much information out there, a lot of sites are starting to investigate a better way to see, at a glance, what's the most relevant information in a collection. Tag Crowd is a free, alpha site that allows you to create tag clouds from text. Basically, the more frequent the word (or topic) is used, the more prominence it's given in the cloud. It's intended to make it easier to get the gist of a collection of text quickly, without reading the whole text. For example, I took my last post titled Peas...and carrots and pasted that into the TagCrowd site. This is what it spit back.
