R.I.P. : the tag cloud

I am happy to see that one of the web’s most “false good idea” (literal translation of the French’s “fausse bonne idée”, I hope it works in English too ;) is getting abandoned, and I am talking about the useless, unclear and largely unused tag cloud. After the official death of web 2.0 at Lift07, that is another reason to rejoice for hype busters of all kind.

    Couldn’t agree more… I could never understand why people started ejaculating when talking about it.
