Recent Popular Tags WordPress plugin allows the administrator to display the most popular recently used tags by post authors.
This plugin is very valuable for current events websites because it gives admins the ability to set the number of tags to display and how many days to consider as “recent”… No more popular tags displaying from two years ago!
Default Usage
Heading and Recent Popular Tags will be displayed beneath each blog post.
Shortcode
Use shortcode <code>[recent-popular-tags]</code> to display Recent Popular Tags anywhere in blog posts, pages, custom post types or in a text widget.
Template Tag
Use <code><?php if ( function_exists('rpt_display_content') ) { echo do_shortcode('[recent-popular-posts]')} ?></code> to display Recent Popular Tags in your template files
Widget
Use <code>[recent-popular-tags]</code> in a “Text” widget to display Recent Popular Tags in a sidebar

Very useful plugin, I like how it shows more relevant tags than just a bunch of rarely used ones.
