Tag Clouds for Resources
------------------------

Perhaps a Cloud of tags is unnecessary, but tagging resources similar to
Youtube or like Tag Clouds allows for efficient searching and filtering. Anyone
who uses the web would know how to use them. If a "Cloud of Tags" approach is
used, then organizing the tags by some sort of frequency would be useful. IE:
the more a specific tag is used, the larger it gets, or perhaps the more often
that tag is searched on.

Comments
--------

* Note: I was inspired with this idea during an email conversation with
  Rick777. -- link:PercivalTiglao[] [[DateTime(2008-07-17T14:29:57Z)]]

* Agreed, this is usefull. Also, more advanced config rules can make use of
  such tags and wiring can depend on them, for example to route your dialogue
  audio to another global bus than the music or ambiance.

Conclusion
----------

This Design Proposal is 'superseded' by a much more advanced proposal:
