Tagcrowd*
Put in any text file and this brilliant tool creates a freqency based "tag" cloud, providing you with a publishable piece of html code.
I used it to get a Top 250 Tag List of EVERYTHING 2.0.
Of course, Blogger isn't able to process the html code. Therefore (sorry to present you with something so ugly) I present a snag of the original at the left (of course the unreadable format of that unreadable format is defined by Blogger), and the straight on word count remains of the original code below:

Blogger acting funny (and still sucking strong)
I still don't understand how or why a company like Google still allows Blogger to fail so horribly.
A few months ago I posted this:
Blogger's suckability has increased ever since. Errors. Outages. Infuriating server slowness. And above all: a +30% chance that pictures that I include in my postings don't make it to my blog.The first article on Google when you now search for "Blogger sucks" is a Wired article from April 7 April reporting that it scores 720,000 results. Today Google finds "only" 32,800 results. Did the number of complaints decrease since last spring?Well, I can confirm that Blogger still sucks. It sucks, it sucks terribly, it sucks like hell. It's slow, it's stupid, some of the functionalities often fail.
So who manipulated that search result?!
So when Blogger announced its new beta version, I immediately opted in to moving this blog to that beta environment. That was several weeks ago. I didn't hear a thing from Blogger ever since... I thought.
Last weekend I started a new blog. And decided to take Blogger's suckability for granted because I didn't have time to familiarize myself with an other solution. Suddenly (when I tried out an alternative lay-out template) - I was invited to move my new blog to Blogger's beta-sector.
Arriving at my beta-Dashboard, someone had put an empty blog there, titled something like "Blogger doesn't suck anymore".
Sorry that I can't reproduce the exact title, and that I can't link you to it. I erased it, after smiling for 2 milliseconds, in an angry flash.
Further consolidation in social software for professionals?
The first segment within the social software sphere that seems to be reaching a state of consolidation is professional networking. Further consolidation seems probable.
Today, after 8 years of operating, Ecademy (a.k.a. the English Viaduc) has reached the 100,000 members mark. Not a probable candidate to win it all.
Viaduc (a.k.a. the French LinkedIN), having 680,000 members, today informed me that it will soon present itself in 6 languages, under the new name Viadeo. It's working together (whatever that may mean prctically) with Chinese Tianji. It doesn't seem to come natural to them.
LinkedIN (a.k.a. the American openBC), with 7,5 million members, today announced that it's going German. Interesting player.
Which leaves us OpenBC (a.k.a. Xing), with well over 1.5 million members, that has been successfully polyglot and cross cultural since mid 2004, and has been the only one that has blended and enhanced real world networking with a digital community solution...
Netvibes*****
I've just upgraded my appreciation of Netvibes to the maximum of 5*****.
Continuously offering new or improved features. New surprises. New delights.
Probably not only the best website that 2.0 has brought us, but simply the best website in the world.
