Creative information display

A “tag cloud” has been generated for the recent State of the Union Address by President George W. Bush. Tag clouds were originally created to indicate which tags used to label/categorize blog posts were used the most; it lists the words (or tags) used in different sizes, with the larger sizes for the most used tags. In this case, the larger words are the ones used more often in the speech.

I am always interested in new and creative ways of displaying complex information, and tag clouds can be more effective than a mere listing of words with their frequency.
