tag cloud

Weighted term visualization

A tag cloud is a visual display of words or phrases where size indicates frequency or importance—the more often a term appears, the larger it's shown.

Common on blogs and websites in the 2000s, tag clouds let users see at a glance what topics dominated a site's content: The tag cloud showed "climate" and "policy" in huge letters.
