Ben Ramsey has this new posting over on his blog today with a note about an interesting technology that has quite a potential to redefine how information is organized for sites - tag-cloud creation and his php-cloud for PHP-related information.

I created a php-news cloud at TagCloud, a new service that launched this week. TagCloud accepts RSS feeds and uses the Yahoo! Content Analysis Web service to create an automated folksonomy for the posts in the feeds. In short, it guesses at the tags for each post (based on the post content) and organizes the posts according to those tags. Then, it creates a "cloud" of the tags to show frequency.

Having glanced at this earlier, I can say that there's definitely some potential here. I'm not sure what it really could be useful for, but redefining how information is gathered for sites has lead to some interesting things in the past...
