Have you noticed anything about Fluther's topics cloud?

Yes, I’ve noticed that asking a question about Fluther’s cloud, will apparently get some flutherers very upset.

To answer yours, I find it quite interesting. Apart from it being a question/answer forum, Fluther also serves as a good attention data gatherer. You get to really see what people are mostly interested in. Or you get just random words. Either way, cool to look at.

My favorite combination is: language life love

Los Angeles love Mac Mac OS X MacBook , etc
Seattle sex shoe shopping
San Francisco school science

How odd. I’ve never seen this “topic cloud”. How do you get there from the main page? I am such a ditz.

Never mind. I found it.

Seems like sex is running behind. I guess we need more sex topics…

Thanks WTF….I finally found it.

On the home page you’ll see a small cloud under the heading topics and under that a notation to see all topics…click on that

psychology questions random
women words : )

music names networking
philosophy phones photography
girls Google government

Fluther food (I’m hungry!)
family fashion film
reading real estate recipes (I’m really hungry!)

@whatthefluther…I’m thinking I need one, too! ;)

start by looking so close, that your nose touches the monitor. Then slowly back away, and soon you’ll see the space shuttle!

School, science, sex. Wtf? No offense, WTF.

@knotmyday…None taken…good find! Tomorrow, with fresh eyes, I shall seek the space shuttle utilizing the @stratman37 technique (that is if I can clear away enough crap off my desk to get my nose anywhere near my monitor)! See you around… wtf

I have to admit, it is much better than when I first started – back in January. There was one, and I repeat – one – huge word there.

iPhone.

Thank the gods it is what it is now.

Laugh.

It’s what I don’t see that bothers me. I have seen tags on questions that I come across that don’t show up in the tag cloud at all, like where is crafts? or Knitting? two of my favorite things.
