Tag clouds are visualizations of term frequencies. A tag cloud allows you to see common terms in a text by grouping like terms together and emphasizing frequent terms.

Tag clouds are a essential feature on nearly all blogs , and a number of web-sites are utilizing them as well. Though they some-times look clunky, tag-clouds can be a big way to more optimise your web-site.
There are many of webmasters there who are next to tag-clouds. The major objection is the need of aesthetics in a square crowded awash with words that takes-up a large hunk of your page.

A tag cloud (word cloud, or weighted list in visual design) is a visual representation for text data, typically used to depict keyword metadata (tags) on websites, or to visualize free form text. 'Tags' are usually single words, normally listed alphabetically, and the importance of each tag is shown with font size or color. This format is useful for quickly perceiving the most prominent terms and for locating a term alphabetically to determine its relative prominence. When used as website navigation aids, the terms are hyperlinked to items associated with the tag.

Tag clouds are bunch of links on your index page... So, they help in PR flow to the individual pages of your website.

If you have different categories on your pages, then you do not require tag clouds.

On the other hand, if you are overdoing it, it may appear as keyword stuffing which devalue your backlinks.
