You might have heard of or come across "Text clouds" which are mainly used for navigation and visualization on Web 2.0 sites that utilize user-generated meta-data tags as a categorization scheme. Flickr may be a good example for you here. Check the image below or

Now What is Tagcrowd and how it is different in comparison with others:
TagCrowd is a simple web application for picturing word frequencies in any user supplied text. It was created by a doctoral student in Design and Education at Stanford University called Daniel Steinbock.
What "Tagcrowd" does is it looks at a text cloud by not only as an informative, beautiful image that communicates in a single glance but also as an whole new perspective on text. TagCrowd is taking tag clouds far beyond their original function:
1) by summarizing the topics for speeches and written works
2) as a blog or web analysis tool for SEO's
3) for data mining a text corpus
4) as resumes in a single glance
5) as visual poetry
and many more as the list continues to grow
