Maybe that's the case on Twitter. It wouldn't be here. -- nm

Because: "gossip. Did you hear about Tiger" isn't as friendly as "Did you hear about Tiger? #gossip" -- nm - oblique Dec 9, 13:26 11
- or just "did you hear about Tiger?" people search for gossip more specifically i'd think, - Elf Andie Dec 9, 13:28 10
  - Amen -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 13:34
  - I personally don't see the need for tagging here but I also don't see the "Favourite" link being needed but it's there... - oblique Dec 9, 13:30 8
    - I personally like the favourite system. I use it to keep track of links I can't click on at work so I can check them at home -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 13:32
    - Favourite and NSFW use the same system, and it could be easily extended to allow full tagging. - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:31 6
      - I daresay, you have the more elegant solution. It blends the concept of "starring" in GMail with something like a pos rep vote in other forums. - TFox Dec 9, 13:33 4
        
        I do feel a need to extend it slighty, though. So that we can differentiate L5s and *golf claps*, as it were ... and also "do not like" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:34 3
        
        L5 is the easiest search metric on Dr. STalk possible, golf claps don't need categorization, and neg rep is so... negative. - TFox Dec 9, 13:35 2
        
        I just feel that "Favourite" and "NSFW" need some companionship. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:37 1
        
        You should put a "Favorite" up there for non-canadians. - musubi Dec 9, 13:39
      - (Your Favourited posts show up on the Your Stats page in the sidebar, and I recently added pagination so you can scroll back ...) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:33
sure, it also helps that we're a fairly insular group with a common and well understood vernacular. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:26
