Keep in mind now that you could create #games.haymakers9th and you will be the only person that can submit posts with that tag. People can follow it etc. Personal tags -My guess is that we will expand on this too as it opens a number of possibilities.

Personal tags are definitely an interesting and workable concept. The ability to have a personal tag and a public one in the same submission eliminates the possibility of isolation and a solely blog-style dynamic.

Wait, I didn't know that was possible. So if you have a tag and then a "." and a username it become private and something only you can post to? Do you have to be the first person to use it to "own it?" Or could I make DrPepperGuitar.thenewgreen now and it would be mine? Or will it only let the user creating it use their username?

Also what happens if it's multi-tagged? Only YOU can add a second tag? I've noticed you doing this with the photo challenges, but obviously we can post to them so I'm assuming that is how it works.

(Not planning on using someone elses name by any means, just wondering if people could steal mine or something of that nature)

Just curious.

You just put @ after the tag with no space and it adds .<username>, becoming your personal tag.

No, you can't steal a tag. All your personal tags will be tag.AlderaanDuran. Also, you can't add a personal tag to other people's posts.
