Surf the web using tags, forget about typing!

Tag Clouds are one of the best methods to promote your website and subsequently very simple to use. Commonly referred to as word links, or tag clouds, they are a simple yet effective way to navigate the Internet. Why use a search engine to type out your search, await the result, and then hope that is meets your needs? Tags allow you to simply click on a tag and go to the site. Essentially coming full circle again, with the hyper link, only these are prettier. A tag can be a link to a video, a profile, a graphic, a website, or an email address - anything that you can think of to link to.
