I've been playing around with tag and word clouds lately. Clouds are basically interesting (and esthetically appealing, in my opinion) ways to visualize the prevalence of words. Words that are more prevalent show up larger/darker than more rare ones. Oftentimes you will see Tag Clouds which show how many posts there are in certain categories (we have one on the CTC VISTA Digest).
Below is a word cloud made up of all the posts on CTCVISTA.org. This isn't the categories, but the actual posts themselves. It was created by a very nifty website call TagCrowd.com.
An interesting side note is that, excluding common words (and, like, the, pronouns, etc.), we have a lexicon of 7,369 unique words on the website.
