Google Finance
[from Mediapost]
Google's new finance site was unveiled on Tuesday. One of the most distinct features of the new Google Finance site is its incorporation of Flash technology to create more dynamic stock charts than those that are currently on Yahoo Finance. Google Finance visitors can chart the daily ups and downs of a particular market just by scrolling over its name. Likewise, they can chart a stock's trajectory over one to five days, one to six months, or several years by dragging a slider, which also determines related news headlines that appear next to the charts.
Google also offers users the ability to search for stock quotes either by a company's name or ticker symbol, while Yahoo requires users to use the ticker symbol. Google Finance users also have access to information on privately held companies, as well as blog posts from Blog Search and Google Group posts. "We consider the inclusion of blog posts to be a major added value for readers, helping them to understand why stocks are performing the way they are," said Google's Stanton.

Tag Clouds
A tag cloud (more traditionally known as a weighted list in the field of visual design) is a visual depiction of content tags used on a website. Often, more frequently used tags are depicted in a larger font or otherwise emphasized, while the displayed order is generally alphabetical. Thus both finding a tag by alphabet and by popularity is possible. Selecting a single tag within a tag cloud will generally lead to a collection of items that are associated with that tag.
Check out the great Tag cloud page on Wikipedia. It's an excellent resource for those interested in designing Tag clouds.
