According to the folks who developed it,
TagCloud is an automated folksonomy tool. Essentially, TagCloud searches any number of RSS feeds you
specify, extracts keywords from the content and lists them according to
prevalence within the RSS feeds. Clicking on the tag’s link will
display a list of all the article abstracts associated with that
keyword.
As an experiment, I fed TagCloud a bale of material that is relevant to technology for the nonprofit sector. You can view the results here:

Nonprofit Stuff
http://nonprofitstuff.blogspot.com
Now that I'm in private consulting practice, it's harder to share the cool stuff I find about nonprofit and nonprofit management with others--I can't just walk down the hall and bug a co-worker. For that reason, I started this blog. What is nonprofit stuff? According to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, stuff is "a group or scattering of miscellaneous objects or articles." So, enjoy--and let me know what you think.
