  I also, had the same experience when looking at our tag cloud of realizing "Oh I get it now." I did not really understand the function/purpose of the tag cloud completely until this activity. Like others, I am not surprised that Written/Informative is at the top of our list. I feel that this is the type of resource that people in general are the most comfortable with because it requires the least amount of "technological savvy" for lack of a better term. It is written text and familiar. I feel that as technology becomes more commonplace and digital immigrants are replaced by digital natives, the other types of websites will "rise to the top of the cloud" so to speak.
  
  When looking at our cloud I was surprised to see that there were very few categories that were content-specific. Instead the categories had more to do with the type of technology or how it woul dbe implemented.

  Okay, now I see the tag cloud, and it's pretty cool. All of what you are sharing is helping me to put some pieces together so that I can better understand this tool.
  
  I'm sure you guys realize that I'm coming into this experience in Diigo late in the game--sorry about that.... I think you all know that I was on vacation; unfortunately, in my work to get the family to the mountains, I missed the internet miner activity last week, so I'm working hard to get it now. Thanks for your patience.
