What happens when you boil down one company's history into a series of keywords? We collected dozens of key Microsoft-related speeches, interviews, internal e-mails and other documents from the past three decades, and put them through a program that generated a timeline of tag clouds showing the 64 most commonly used words in each.

Tagline Generator by Chirag Mehta is a simple PHP codebase that lets you generate chronological tag clouds from simple text data sources without manually tagging the data entries.

Demos:

• Simple Demo - Mini US Presidential Tag Cloud
• Popular version - US Presidential Speeches Tag Cloud
• Personal Blog - Chirag Mehta Tag Cloud
