While looking for information about the Nintendo Wii he had just preordered, Joel Nagy found himself running across a growing number of search results that didn’t have the facts he wanted.

Search clouds provide an interesting solution.

For another interesting take on search clouds, check out my tags implementation on my site (http://neurokinetikz.com). You can filter tags by content type, category, search term, date, user, & creative commons license.

Agreed- metadata helps. Now to the more realistic question for search engines: Where would they place their ads?
