You'd have to do this with the canvas tag.

There are several free/open-source HTML5 mind maps available:

• etc.

And here's a tag cloud demo: http://www.goat1000.com/tagcanvas.php.

jQuery won't help you that much as it's mostly good for modifying html elements (that is made to be rectangle).

You'll need to use canvas (Search for canvas and html5) or SVG. There is a good SVG library called Raphaël (http://raphaeljs.com/).

It would be possible with HTML and rotate the elements with CSS but that would be harder that to use canvas or SVG.
