What I meant, is if the data source is a tree (e.g. organizational structure, file system) then the tags are not the equivalent (unless you use hierarchical tags).

May 22, 2012 at 22:15	comment	added	Danny Varod		A tree structure can be converted to tags. This conversion is usually one way, since tags usually do not have hierarchy. In that manner a tag cloud is not an alternative for a tree structure any more than a list view. One major difference, however, is that items can have multiple tags, which can provide a replacement for trees - if you turn every parent folder into an additional tag and you do not care about the order.
