Until this critical point is reached, you might have a URL tagged with "tags" and "shirky", and another with "tagging" and "cshirky", and their distance would be maximal for two tags. This effect will diminish as the number of people tagging the URLs increases, but will always be present for less popular tags.

I must have been quite drunk if I ever meant that two different tag clouds, coming from different URL would tend to the same idealised curve. Of course they don't or there would be no gold to dig, nor distance to measure. Regards, Pietro Speroni Hello Clay,
thanks for your kind words.

I must have been quite drunk if I ever meant that two different tag clouds, coming from different URL would tend to the same idealised curve. Of course they don’t or there would be no gold to dig, nor distance to measure.
