tags and interests

[frandroid]

I just had an epiphany. "interests" on DW profiles should not inhabit a semantic universe different than "tags". "interests" should be tags as well, as part of the tag system. So you could decide to search for messages about "anarchism", both about the topic, and also messages from people who have shown interest in anarchism. Well I guess you don't even need to merge the tag systems for that, you should be able to get a reading page of posts by people interested in anarchism, even if it's not explicitly about anarchism. It's a bit of mf'er of a database JOIN instruction, but still... :P
