SARA Tag Cloud: Quick check on popular topics!
July 20, 2006 20067 1:06 am | In SARA |Wondering why the jokes were drying up and all? Yet another update about SARA? Well, the boringest one was busy creating something new for SARA, spent a couple of days doing it but stupid me didn't realise there were lotsa smart people out there on the net.
While having a mindblock (ermm…or you can call it distraction =P) in the midst of boring coding, I came upon a site called ZoomClouds which created what I wanted exactly. Could have saved me a couple of hours/days if I've found it earlier =P Anyway, I thought why reinvent the wheel (or cloud for this matter) right?
So lazy me just copy-and-pasted the code from there to here so you can see this nice box here, which contain lotsa words –> they all represent the hottest 100 topics on the Southeast Asian blogosphere now. Click on the small little tags to check out the related posts and the ones with bigger fonts mean that there are more posts about them, the smaller ones are just smaller issues.
So you like it?

Anyway, for the full version, try this link. There's also a smaller one on SARA's sidebar.
Also, some internal upgrading were done to the feeds on the sidebar, they are all hosted locally on the server now, so it should speed up loading time as well. Last time I counted with my stopwatch, it saved about 30s of loading time on a 3Mbps connection, so hopefully it'll be more enjoyable.

Yeah, I used to use Zoom Cloud for my blog, in fact, I was using it for many months until recently, when I removed it cos none of my visitors were utilizing it for navigation (apparently, everyone loved using the Swicki… MUCH MORE than the Google search)

well, like you said it, you used it for navigation for your own blog, this is like a huge tag cloud for the whole blogosphere in Southeast Asia (or at least the ones on SARA ~ 400 of 'em), at least you'll have some knowledge of what's the hottest topic now with just a quick glance.
