Text clouds: a new form of tag cloud?
Joe Lamantia has written an article exploring the concept of text clouds (versus tag clouds). To quote:
"Text cloud" might be a more accurate label for these visualizations than tag cloud. In addition to recognizing fundamental differences - text clouds differ from tag clouds in composition (no tags at all) and purpose (predominantly comprehension, rather than access or navigation) - distinguishing the two types of clouds will make it much easier to assess their abilities to support user experience needs and business goals.
