IMDB tag cloud

Have you seen how the Internet Movie Database uses tag clouds?

I wanted to find movies about the theater. Using Shakespeare in Love as my "pearl," I checked both my local public library's OPAC and Amazon. Neither gave me useful subject tracings for finding other movies about the theater.

At IMDB's entry for Shakespeare in Love, I clicked on "more" in the list of Genres. That took me to a list of plot keywords (not exactly intuitively obvious that it would do so, but I didn't complain since it was just what I wanted). Click on "Theater" to get the 613 movies tagged "theater", plus a tag cloud for narrowing that selection by choosing tags to do a Boolean AND with "Theater."

Now, I want to see this in NoveList, WorldCat, and in some method for searching scholarly papers. Is someone doing something like this with websites, using del.icio.us tags, for example? (joy at mollprojects dot com) I haven't been paying enough attention to tag clouds to know. Clusty gets me a similar functionality but a tag cloud is a nicer representation than a list.     #
