Hi Paola,

I see a lot of them still, reading blogs and looking for more blogs on
technorati. Oh, and on ProgrammableWeb. It is possible to go tag-cloud
crazy, perhaps there is a backlash against the misapplication of them
(driven I suspect by the misapprehension that "tags are Web 2.0, Web
2.0 is cool, tags are cool, tag clouds with lots of tags must be
better").

Cheers, Andrew
