We would love to be able to filter out certain tags.

I installed the Zoom Cloud about a year ago, but notice that it has stopped picking up references to common words from my recent posts. In fact, the most recent reference to my son's name is from October, even though I mention him every couple of days. Is there a maximum number of references it holds?

Oops! Just saw you added that feature since last time I visited. Keep up the good work!

I'm curious if your system filters out unrecognizable acronyms? E.g., on our site we've used a technical term "DNSSEC" numerous times, yet it doesn't show up in the cloud although we'd like it too. I noticed you have "blacklist" feature, maybe you need a "whitelist" one as well? Thx

Hi,
I tried the "n" command to create a Tag that consists two words ("Corporate Blogs"). Moreover, I put the two words in one line in the wanted filters. The two words "Corporate" and "Blogs" still show up as two different tags though. what can I do?

thanks

Zoom clouds are quite useful for our cross-generational social networking site that fuses socially relevant global issues with high quality entertainment and information. Visit us at www.spangy.com and see how we use on all our main pages.

what sort of logic is used to determine the relevance of a topic? My cloud has the word 'infoseek' blown up...it is a word contained in 3 links in ONE single post. ONE post. There are other words (read: actual topics) used much more often that are not shown in that font size.
This seemed like a great idea, but I'm not going to have people look over at that cloud and think INFOSEEK is a topic of relevance on my blog.

Thanks.

If I want to display multiple tag clouds from different sources on one page, is there a way to cut down the size of the code by assigning universal styles to each instance of the script? Thanks!

Hi!

I can't use zoom clouds on Internet Explorer 6! Can you explain me why?

Thanks!

Looking forward to ads-free and branded services. Is there any way to tinker with what Google ads appear now? I know you probably don't have anything to do with it, but it's a little unprofessional what appears when one clicks on certain words in our zoomcloud (our blog covers internet policy matters). Unfortunately, we'll probably have to remove our cloud until those services are offered. Otherwise, you have a great service, thanks!

Is this project totally abandoned or what? I posted a comment to this topic few days ago but it is not added in here. Well, I try again...

International users, be aware. Zoomclouds seem to give more weight to English words. And long words seem to be totally overlooked.

Algorithm behind the Zoomclouds still looks somewhat odd. I have tried to create tag cloud only for keywords at http://infostudies.blogsome.com/zoomclouds/ using RSS .92 but the problem is that the zoomcloud seem to put more weight on long descriptions and words in English. One example is the Finnish slang word 'kans', which is mentioned only once in one quite long description and it still get a lot of weight. An other word 'meta' is there like I hoped but it get much less weight even that it is mentioned much more often than 'kans'. So what is the logic or is there any?

I wonder if ZoomCloud is giving more weight for words in English? Also it seems that long words don't get any weight. See for yourself:
