Ah, I'd forgotten that hubski has tags! Yeah that's a start. I'd like to improve on conventional tags, but those ideas are still half baked. Maybe we could do things to encourage more bouncing around into tag pages. One idea is to show a related story from a tag when showing a story. Perhaps on the right hand side. So again there's more demand for that real estate and it's not clear what's the best use for it :)
Another idea is to highlight active tags. Clicking on a tag to see a mostly empty page discourages further clicking on tags. It might be worth trying out to have random stuff show up on user feeds. Make the background a slightly different shade to distinguish it. One key is to be able to dismiss such stories from the stream. I can tolerate annoying stories if I am able to hide them.
