fserb.com.br — NewsCloud is a site experiment that fetches news from Google News, tries to find tags related to each news and presents a tag cloud of the daily news. During the news process, there's no human intervention. All tags are discovered automatically from Google News by text analysis. The pages are served statically, and are generated every hour.

Gotta love how under US, the biggest words are BUSH, followed by GUILTY...

No it's not; the biggest words when hovering on US are Bush, President, Iraq, Iran, and UN. Stop trolling.

You're right about one thing Josh: that is way, way better.

@OutcastJiob: While the digg engine doesn't use a cloud, you can change your view. I guess you're right and wrong...<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/diggall/cloud/">http://digg.com/diggall/cloud/</a>

I've seen that farmers field mapping before and thought then it looked awful.This news cloud is great and the best thing is the related links on rollover, an outstanding and very intuitive feature.To explain, I always want to zoom out and see more of the map than I can see, I don't see the point in squashing things up, its like standing too close to the supermarket shelves. I prefer to step back.

The easiest way to make your own cloud is to put the kettle on.It will just be a small one though, for additional scale, you could try running the shower or some kind of sprinkler arrangement from the hot tap.In reality, to build a cloud you need a database containing tags and frequencies, simply list alphabetically and map the font size to the most used tags.

this is also an interesting use of google news - sizes and colours based on article strength<a class="user" href="http://www.marumushi.com/apps/newsmap/">http://www.marumushi.com/apps/newsmap/</a>
