20Nov Flash WordPress Plugin – WP-Cumulus
Decided to add a little bit of Flash 
to the site in the form of an excellent little plugin from Roy Tanck.
This plugin displays your tag cloud in the form of a globe.
I’ve never really been a fan of word clouds since they first appeared (and seemed to do wonders for SEO… briefly) and despite having had the tag cloud on this blog since the beginning I was considering ditching it, or getting a nofollow plugin for them (the pages themselves are already noindex but seemed silly to leak Page Rank [as we all know PR is the defining factor of SEO*]).
Instead I’ll just cripple search engines ability to follow the links, although I may set up another site to see if they manage to crawl the links in widget as Google now claims.
Anyway, here’s a big version for you to see.
WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck and Luke Morton requires Flash Player 9 or better.

I am wondering if since this is rendered in flash the search engines can read it. What are the advantages of this (from an SEO perspective) in comparison to WP Cirrus which pretty much does the same thing but not using flash?
