Digital Rights Management News and Information

DRM TagCloud

The box that you see below contains a TagCloud for DRM news and articles. The service will grab any RSS feeds from Yahoo! News that you tell it to use.

In this case we found a bunch of DRM related sites to use. TagCloud then caches those feeds locally in the TagCloud database. These feeds are then fed into Yahoo's content analysis service to extract the keywords. The Yahoo service returns a set of keywords (tags) that the article is associated with. The tags are stored on the TagCloud server and a script determines which keywords are most important (occur most often). We use CSS to change the size and color of the tags that are most important. Finally, the tags themselves are links to the TagCloud page that contains a list of articles associated with that keyword.

Best of all, the TagCloud service was written by my good friend John Herren. Thanks John!
