It’s okay to admit it. You’re among friends. You’ve been on Twitter for a couple of months now and you still can’t figure out what the heck all the fuss is about.

I asked Nathan Burke o join the Roundtable this week in part because his work for matchmine, which offers a recommendation tool to users to suggest content they might like across all forms of media, makes him an excellent guest to discuss one of the stories coming out of the 2.0 world this week–Digg.com’s recommendation engine. Also: Echo chamber danger, and Stride Gum and the dancing guy.

We’ve all seen tag clouds before, and tools to produce them are pretty ubiquitous. You can even make a cloud or your Twitter posts, your del.icio.us tags, just about anything, really. So I wasn’t all that interested in hearing about another one; but then I realized Wordle makes tag clouds pretty!
