I don't ... I'm not sure music.flagamuffin or whatever makes sense in the context of subbing various youtube links. To me, at least. If you have to unfollow #music, maybe use #newmusic as an alternative. That's where I post.

I could see myself using a personal tag in future to submit my own poetry, etc.

yeah, but I may not like your #newmusic and now that tag sucks for me. But specifically following someones music tag ensures to me that I'm getting exactly what I signed up for. Nobody can dilute it.

btw, I don't think your newmusic posts would suck :)

Hmm. I'm still not sure a personal tag would reach a large enough group to be feasible. Initially I saw it as a way to archive your own posts neatly. Which I would do with my own content, but wouldn't with things I merely posted for everyone's enjoyment. I'll think about it.

I think both use cases exist. For example, I am pushing for the ability to add a personal tag to other people's posts. Why? Because I would like to be able to create archives such as #bestof2013.thenewgreen and go through the years posts and pick out my favorites. I would love to archive hubski's best content this way. I'm not sure people would "follow" that tag, but I would definitely share that link w friends etc outside of Hubski.

I think that should be private or at least limited to showing up on your profile or something. I might want to look at some people's best of '13, but not everyone's, and not at the top of posts all the time.

I agree, you could go in to someone's profile and see "personal tags"
