Related Content: Content that is related to the main topic featured on the page. These links may be manually determined (by the content editor) or may be populated by the content management system based on predefined tags (e.g. a particular issue or region).

Links to Related Content are often displayed on a narrow column to the right of the main body copy on the page. The idea is "If you are interested in the article on this page, you may want to read additional articles on similar subjects." This is in contrast to "Read More" which usually refers to "reading more" of the article you are currently reading, by going to a page with the full article.

Stylish Java applet Wordle creates custom word clouds out of any text you throw at it. You can also have it parse your Del.icio.us tags for a cloud, but either way, the real fun is in customizing the...

Wordle is a java applet, created by Jonathan Feinberg, which creates aesthetically pleasing tag clouds from text you enter, offering you rough control over layout, font, and colors.

Here’s one I created based on the current content of this blog (click on it to view full size):

At last month’s North Shore Web Geek Meetup, I met Gal Arav, the creator of Newsflashr (and formerly creator of InstantBull):

Newsflashr aggregates feeds from a large number of news sources, and lets you scan the headlines from those feeds as a tag cloud (what are the interesting terms which appear frequently in the headlines in those feeds) as well as in a list sorted by Alexa rank.

It’s the kind of site you can spend a lot of time in, if you’re a news junkie, playing around with different sorting options and looking for trends in the data.

Here’s the tag cloud, for example of the “elections 08″ topic as I am writing this post:

I've got the new Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 Remix running now on my laptop and it is looking really good. I really like the new visual design and it is great that the Kubuntu project team made a release featuring KDE4 available on top of everything else they have had to do to get the main release of Kubuntu out. Up to now I have been running KDE3 and experimenting a bit with KDE4 on a virtual machine, but now I'm making the move full time. I don't know yet if that will prove a good decision while KDE4 is so young, it was only released in January 2008, but it is easy enough to swap desktop system on an Ubuntu distribution so I thought it was worth gaining that "bit of an edge" and going with the latest desktop experience that is available on Linux. The Ubuntu distributions always show very significant progress on every new release, and 8.04 has followed this trend and I'm finding it very pleasant to use

I wonder how much this changes over time, or how far back they are able to grab tweets.
