Here's an idea to squeeze another use out of StatusNet's peopletags
feature.

As things are, I can assign "peopletags" to my subscriptions (and to my
subscribers as it happens). I could, say, tag @hex, @br3nda, @maymaym,
@evan, @csarven, etc with #statusnet. I have virtually no reason to do
so of course, because peopletags aren't really used anywhere. (OK, so
there's a way of addressing messages like @#statusnet, but I rarely see
anybody use that.)

However, it would be great if I could go to:

        http://identi.ca/tobyink/peopletag/statusnet/all

And see the equivalent of my "/all", but filtered down to show only the
people I've tagged #statusnet.

For bonus points, 

        http://identi.ca/tobyink/peopletag/statusnet/none

would do the opposite - filter *out* people tagged #statusnet.

Personally I'd find this a very handy feature. Some of the people I
subscribe are very, shall we say, chatty, and while they have a lot of
interesting things to say, so I wouldn't want to unsubscribe, I don't
like how they flood my screen (both the web interface and XMPP), making
me miss the occasional notice from the less chatty people. By tagging
people #infrequent I would give myself a special page that I can visit
to make sure I've not missed anything by them.
