keyword cloud or SEO cloud

[Sudhakar]

Does anyone have any thoughts on this strategy? I have seen a few sites with keyword clouds.....and was wondering if these violate the Google search engine at all?

Here are a couple of examples of keyword clouds
check the right column of this site under "tags" in this image



Check the bottom of this page just above the nabbr video widget

Please advise if these are inline with Google rules....or if I put one on my site....will I get penalized?
