The comparing may include determining if there is a relationship between the tag and any of the existing tags. The method may also include adding the tag to the tag cloud in response to there being no relationship between the tag and any of the existing tags. The method may additionally include selecting one tag of the existing tags in response to the tag and the one tag being related tags.
