Zeldman:

Tag clouds are the new mullets. “It is of course wrong to compare weighted tag clouds to mullets, mood rings, and similar instances of mindless pop-cultural detritus. Tag clouds are not dumb. Their smartness is why so many have rushed to use them. But ubiquity and repetition quickly turn sweets to ashes.”

Tasty and new:

Duality in yulzine. About: “Yulzine is a collaborative project started by members of yulblog. Montréal is reknowned for it’s double personality; the current project, Duality’s [sic], goal is to put forward this duality. It consists of a theme announced every four days and for which two photographers and two writers will produce a picture or text. The pictures are mixed and the texts presented side by side. The themes are kept simple and total freedom is given to the writers and photographers in the way they will show it.”
