DynaCloud v2 (more dynamic tag clouds) plus automatic related content

I have just released version 2 of DynaCloud.

DynaCloud is a JavaScript plugin for jQuery that generates tag or keyword clouds from text on web pages and highlights matching parts once a keyword is clicked.

What’s new in DynaCloud v2

• DynaCloud properties have been moved to the jQuery.dynaCloud object.
• Only one tag/keyword can be active at a time (switchable).
• Automatic wordStats integration (switchable).

Demo

wordStats

Jean-François Hovinne’s wordStats plugin is quite amazing.

[wordStats] tries to determine what a page is about by computing the density of its keywords.

While DynaCloud is good at finding key words, wordStats is good at determining the topic of a page. Jean-François uses this to great effect to transparently retrieve related blog posts. Of course, this is all client-side and on-the-fly.

I like wordStats, so DynaCloud now offers transparent integration of wordStats. If the wordStats JavaScript is available, wordStats will be used. If not, the default DynaCloud algorithm is used.
