You already know how to search by simply typing a word into the "What's on your mind" box, but did you know you can search through tag clouds as well? In fact, when looking at cultural trends, this is probably the best method.
To search via tag clouds, click on the "thoughts" tab at the top of the page. Next, click on the "Tag clouds" link seen next to the arrow in the picture below. Now you can begin searching. Each time you click on a tag, it will narrow your search to include only thoughts and tags related to the first tag you clicked. You can continue refining your search by clicking on more tags. Anytime you want to see the actual thoughts simply click on the "grid" view link which is next to the "Tag Cloud" link.
You will also notice a "Source Cloud." This shows where all of the thoughts came from. Typically a website or blog, the source cloud will also show trends and popularity of various web destinations.
One last thing, you can also see the tag cloud of yourself and you collections. If you click the "Me" tab at the top of the page, you will see the same "tag cloud" link on the left side of the page. The same applies when you are looking inside a collection.

The neemee pulse has a twist this week as users of neemee at
one company have a contest going to win a few mac book airs and 3G iphones. The
users with the “best” thoughts will win and it has obviously created some activity
in neemee with this awesome incentive. This week’s neemee pulse will take a look at a couple of the best
thoughts this week from that group and why they are so great. While this doesn’t
mean these specific thoughts have won anything (I am not the final decision), I
can guarantee they will be in the running.
Thought 1: Augmented Reality
User “charris” had
two related thoughts that are truly amazing. They deal with Augmented Reality
and the potential for this technology is endless. Read his thoughts for the
details but essentially they are 3-D digital images that can move around our
real world. His thoughts include more but See the video below. (Don't be too impatient, the video gets interesting at the :30 mark.)
"charris" commented with “imagine opening your TGIF menu to be
greeted by the flying promotion of the month...Hot Wings actually hovering at
your table, giving you a 360-degree view to whet your appetite!"
What else makes this thought great?
Not only are these thoughts amazing, "charris" captured them
very well. They had 9 tags on one thought and 11 on the other. Further, "charris"
commented on both thoughts. They also captured the text well in this thought. Notice how the text is broken up and easy to read, not the entire article.
User "AMR" did a great job capturing an interesting thought this morning. It has been over 50 years since the first Red Balloon flew over Paris in a fantasy short film that was re released in the U.S. last year. However, the new red balloon is not always red. Seen everyday by over 400,000 people, this color changing balloon is an indicator of air quality. In fact, a red balloon now is an indication of hazardous air pollution. Read the entire thought here.
What makes this thought great?
Not only is the thought very interesting, it too is well tagged, commented, and the text is easy to read. All that is great but what put this thought over the edge was the question "AMR" posed at the end of the thought. "It makes you ask--what can we do when we combine Green and Great Design?" It is thinking like this spurring innovation and change.
Also wanted to mention "D.D. Dara", "Jump", and "tpenin" for great tagging. Keep up the good work.
Want to learn to capture like this and have a better chance at the macbook air? Call Taylor Fox at 875-5135.
Tagging is a very simple process. A tag is a descriptive keyword or term of what you capture.
The
who, what, when, and where is always useful. But, what is it? Tags
tell a story about the Thought and also about the person who captured the
Thought. Don’t be alarmed to see very emotional words in the Tags, we want the
way people feel about the Thought to be captured as well. There are not a specific number of tags you should use, but the more the better as it will help you and others find the thought.
An example of a well tagged thought could be the following:
Again, that many tags is not necessary but you can see how well the thought is described. Feel free to add emotional words as well. "ladyluck" could have used "relief" or "exciting" to tag the thought.
Please read the tagging guide found here for more information.

The long 4th of July weekend hardly meant the world was taking a break from culture.
Labeled the favorite thought captured in neemee this past weekend, we
see energy savings, flame-grilled chicken, and marketing brilliance all
in one.El Pollo Loco now delivers food in the
Los Angeles area with Zap,
an electric three-wheel car. At $12,000, the cars act like a “green
billboard” for the chain with people more interested in the delivery of
the food than the food itself.
Bad news for Pfizer and its Viagra pill, researchers say that watermelon has effects similar to Viagra in a new study. While not the exact same effect, neemee is finding more and more evidence indicating natural remedies are often similar and just as effective as most drugs. Check out the full thought here.
In what you should expect to be a weekly topic about alternative energy, consumers are not only driving less, but buying appliances and electronics that use less energy as well. A manager from an electronics retailer claimed nine out of ten people ask point blank whether a product will help them save money on energy. You can save up to 40% on energy costs buying an efficient refrigerator. More Details..
The Europeans have decided to start sex education at age 4. The idea being 'gradual education' from such a young age would help to stop children from rushing into sex when they are older. Evidence shows teaching kids about sex before children start puberty, before they feel sexual attraction - they start having sex later. Just like alcohol age requirements, the Europeans educate younger in hopes the gradual effect is stronger than the American way. Thought.
A few interesting trends are emerging in the grocery business in these times of economic uncertainty. First, Grocery Outlet, a west coast chain in 6 states offering a 40-60% discount on name brand foods, is thriving under the current economy. You don't exactly what they will have but the selection is diverse enough to make it a one stop shop. On the other end of the spectrum, online grocery shopping is beginning to pop up with guarantees of freshness. Grocery Gateway is a service for Toronto that will deliver straight to your door for an additional fee.
