Tags cloud

Hi all,
I need to implement tags cloud.
I get a collection of tags that have tag text and the number of times this
tag is been used:
[Movies], 52
[Dogs], 43
[Music], 52
And so on...
How can i attach a font size to each tag?
Any ideas or links.
Thanks,
Sharon.

Hi Sharon,
I take it you're developing ASP.NET application. The best way to do this
is by using CSS classes, defining different font sizes. Then you have to
assign the appropriate CSS class to each tag you're displaying.

It's going to be displayed in a web page,
but what i'm interested in, is the algorithm that sorts and groups the tags.

You probably want to sort the tags by the tag usage count first:

[Books], 77
[Animals], 61
[Movies], 52
[Music], 52
[Dogs], 43
[Cats], 12

Divide this list into the groups by number of tag sizes you want to display:

Large: [Books], 77
[Animals], 61
Normal: [Music], 52
[Movies], 52
Small: [Dogs], 43

[Cats], 12

Then sort the tags alphabeticaly:

[Animals], 61 // Large
[Books], 77 // Large
[Cats], 12 // Small
[Dogs], 43 // Small
[Movies], 52 // Normal
[Music], 52 // Normal

And display them on a web page.

How and where you perform this logic, depends on how and which controls you
plan on using on your page.

I apologize for being a bit dense, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the sentence "Its purpose is to allow processes to register with a cloud to be notified of updates to the channel, implementing a lightweight publish-subscribe protocol for RSS feeds." When they say "cloud" do they just mean a program running on a server?
