An example:

What is Tesol Italy


TAG CLOUDS’ functions: as topic summaries for speeches and

written works for visual analysis of survey data as brand clouds that let companies see how

they are perceived by the world for data mining a text corpus for helping writers and students reflect on

their work as name tags for conferences as resumes in a single glance as visual poetry

The list goes on and continues to grow.http://tagcrowd.com/
