I wrote some Javscript functions to do that for a <a href="http://feedvis.com" rel="nofollow">recent project</a>; you're welcome to borrow and improve any of that stuff. You've got the right idea to mix recency and frequency measures, although it might be nice to display the balance, and let the user modify it on the fly. Visualizing real-time changes like this is a real challenge; there have been a number of <a href="http://labs.digg.com/" rel="nofollow">really flashy visualizations</a> of activity on Digg, for example, that I think have been more sweetness than substance. But I think you've got something useful here. This is a good idea; I agree with you that some animation on the tagcloud might improve things.
