MakeCloud - add a cloud to a blog easily

I am pleased to announce my latest invention, MakeCloud. It takes any RSS feed, and turns it into a cloud, which can be embedded anywhere, such as in a blog. Other people have called it a tag cloud, but I wouldn't say it is that exactly. Tags are usually written by people, and tend to be broad categorical labels. In contrast, the cloud that MakeCloud creates has one word for each story in the RSS feed that it is given. It uses an original algorithm to determine a single word that best represents each story. MakeCloud requries no signup, so it is really fast to use.

I added a cloud for this blog. You can see it in the top right. Neato...
