Yes, all of those ideas sound good as far as giving me extra ways of finding cool tags, but they're not really the issue that I was addressing.

Specifically, there's a post about the history of the McRib, but since people are allowed to write anything they like as their tag, it's listed as #wheresthebeef. There are no other posts in #wheresthebeef, nor are there likely to ever be. So even though this is a cool story, it doesn't let me find more like it, because of the lack of restrictions on tags. It could be under #food or #fastfood or even #mcdonalds, but as a once off tag it has less utility.

So perhaps if there was an algorithm to suggest tags based on the content of the article it might help.
