Here's a tag cloud Firefox add-on for Google: it's kinda obvious and kinda nice. I've found it tasty for refining the obvious away from the chaff, and for spotting connections I hadn't known about ("ooh, they're touring?" etc). Worth a punt if you love tag clouds as much as everyone else.

What do scarily-named Russian provider Intespei get out of it? A sniff at every Google search you do, which is nicely marketable data. :)

Most of the Firefox themes are disappointing. They're either Mac or Linux clones, or hideous apparitions from the bowels of a teenager's Xbox, or hyper-minimalist (yet never attractive) starkfests with functionality hacked away to force you to work like the designer does.

Not so Pimpzilla. It's a gloriously silly skin with gold-and-diamond icons which bling on mouseover, a pink fun-fur toolbar, shag tabs and a leopardskin tab bar. And astonishingly, it is really well done, easy on the eye, nothing gets lost in the ornamentation and it all fits just sweetly. Recommended.
