I am trying to use the K2 tag cloud for my site now but the X popular setting confuses me.
What exactly defines the tag as popular? I came up with two possible reason but I'm not sure which.
The number of times its clicked on?
That can't be, since the tags doesn't count hits. But if it's so, does it counts by the number of hits accumulated throughout the lifetime of the tag? That's a little ridiculous, aren't it?
The number of articles tagged by the tag word?
I did a search and found some topics about tag cloud that doesn't change since day 1. That might be possible if a tag's popularity is based off the number of articles tagged by it. Still, that's a little ridiculous too.
My idea of a tag cloud is that it would change and update constantly like taking the most popular tags that has been clicked on in the past 24 hours or period of time or randomly selected. But the K2 tag cloud doesn't seems like it works that way.
