Trend clouds are useful for identifying what subjects are topical and the relationships between them.  The clouds on this page were generated using “Infomous“.  In each cloud we are tracking blogs and Twitter feeds from key thinkers, researchers and the more informed elements of the media.  The size of each word reflects the frequency with which it appears in the source, while links between words show proximity in the source.
