Now you may feel that 'tag clouds' et al are soooo 2004, but there is still a certain appeal when you come across a site that does it nicely.
Such a site (in this writer's eversohumble opinion) is roomformilk, offering "fresh skimmed Slashdot headlines", the work of web designer Geoff Gaudreault. It shows what Slashdot has been fussing over, in colour-coded squares (which can range from "fresh" to "stale", though "curdled" doesn't seem to be in there).
Hot topics at the moment? Hmm, seem to mention "computer", "Microsoft", "company", and "service". Surprised? No, but you never know.
One thing this does get around is that Slashdot's RSS feed is notoriously fussy - many RSS readers are refused by it because (the site complains) they poll it too often.
