Web Site Review - Using Tag-Cloud-Style Navigation
After a friend of mine recently shared an interesting web site with me that used tag-cloud concepts for navigation, it gave me a good opportunity to write my next post. The site I am reviewing is the School of Informatics and Computing: Indiana University Bloomington
If you are viewing the site (hopefully, in a new browser window) you will notice on the left panel labeled ‘Navigate’ and the right panel labeled ‘Discover’ there appear to be a random arrangement of words or topics in varying font sizes. These link arrangements are commonly called tag clouds. Generally, users can associate larger items with higher import, and smaller items with less.
