Speaking of tags...something I wish LJ had (and maybe they don't because it would require too much database "energy" - I don't know ya'll's fancy language for that ;)) is a function a lot of other sites have - a tag cloud on the front page of the home site showing the most popular tags being used by users. I find this feature a much easier method of finding interesting content to read rather than searching by interest. Is this a feature DW might implement someday? :) - Chasy
