Get a ZoomCloud for your site

ZoomClouds is from the same (Spanish) guys that brought us Zoomtags. It’s pretty straightforward. Sign up, give it a feed, set some parameters, and get a tag cloud that you can include on the site. Mine’s below. Clicking on a tag leads to a results page hosted by ZoomClouds – example is here. ZoomCloud is similar to TagCloud, one of my very early profiles. → Read More

ZoomTags and Commercial Tag Clouds

ZoomTags, based in Sunnyvale, California, is a professional implementation of the commericial tagcloud idea introduced by 1000Tags, which I wrote about earlier this month. ZoomTags is an API-based solution and allows blogs and other websites to place a commercial tagcloud on their sites. Like 1000Tags, Zoomtags allows advertisers to bid on tags or keywords in a tag cloud. When someone clicks on a tag, they see a set of advertiser results. This are Adsense type ads in a tagcloud. Website owners will have a variety of tagclouds to choose from. ZoomTags, which is part of ZoomGroups, already has a fairly established advertiser network that has been in place since 1999. Nothing, of course, stops Yahoo and Google from implementing a similar interface if this proves to be a better way for some sites to serve ads. → Read More
