Would be really great if there was an easy way to feed a tag cloud into a nametag template. How did you accomplish this for the conference?

Very cool idea! Would be nice to see this in a lenticular – one of those badges that changes when viewed in different directions.

Name tags are a great way of creating dialogue and interaction between unfamiliar participants. Working for a name tag company, I am always interested in seeing what other solutions are available/created and must admit that your tag cloud is a very creative item.

While we typically deal with smaller, more concise tags, the contrast in letter size and colors of your tag cloud works very well in attracting someone’s attention. All in all, I find your tag very well thought out/made and as previously suggested fewer words with a larger font should increase the visibility and overall effectiveness of the tag — in general you’ll want your tag to be visible from about 10 feet away.

Great job!

what a totally cool idea — creative thinking. Now I want to try making a tag cloud for my family members. will have to think about how to do it, since I don’t have access to stacks of research statements and resumes for my siblings and kids.
