Very nice and useful idea. I may actually come back and use it (which happens very rarely with new apps nowadays).

Problems:

Way too slow. Spend more on hosting :(

The "meat" is in the flickr, youtube etc. search results below. The tag cloud should appear blow it IMO. Also, limit its size, and let users enlarge, sort it etc.

How about letting me filter results to just some of the sites you're crawling?

I do hope you're being sarcastic there. Blindly throwing money at things is probably what got twitter where they are now.

Judging by the fact that until they came under open and public criticism they had 3 mysql servers running and a very small development team the only thing twitter was doing wrong was not spending their money.

Not being sarcastic at all!

If a website is too slow, it has a significant adverse effect on my likelihood of using it.

And it's not just me - see Google's assertion that speed is "just about the most important concern of users" - http://battellemedia.com/archives/003076.php
