Thanks. Definitely some good food for thought. I am sure that tags can be leveraged to better improve discovery, and that's the main reason why I updated them to so we can store data with each tag. Still, I want to steer clear of the subreddit effect, so I think we'll have to focus on tags as discovery mechanisms rather than tags as destinations. I also think we aren't using user relationships to their full potential.

On a related note, one of the bottlenecks here is presentation. How do you present options for lateral wandering, and when? IMO the navigation heiarchy on Hubski is a bit unecessarily complex. I think there are probably ways to make the interface for similar elements more uniform.
