BTW TagSurfer is Extending the TagCloud. If you feel adding categories to WP is a headache... I guess you havent chkd the latest version 2.0 (:p.. no pun intended). Its coOL and true to its resemblance to Web2.0 you can add Categories(tags) while you post :d @prashant: well, it happens to be my first visit too ...LoL @pratik: hm… true …….

Probably you can come to BarcampPune if you don't have exams during that time. I checked your blog entry for a better undertanding of Tagsurfer. The problem you're trying to address, is surely a problem. But I guess, the best choice to address it would be to come up with a representation that's not much different from the current tagcloud and still does the job. About wordpress categories as tags, yeah, you can do that. But if you want to tag a post with 15 tags that you didn't use before, you'd probably end up spending 10 minutes to create the tags(categories) :p Check out drupal 4.7.0. It's cool and uses combination of tags/taxonomy. Only reason I didn't use it at my blog, is that I suck at creating themes and drupal doesnt have many themes around. Best luck with your exams :-) Hi Akshay !
