This seems like a good idea. I second the point that they could be easy to navigate. Which means it may become similar to subforum s, but with the advantage that there’s still a place where all posts are listed.
Does anyone know a site that has implemented this in a useful way?
EDIT: To qualify, there’s lots of sites using tags of course. I’m referring a system where you have a ‘reasonably small set of tags’ as Owen suggests and those are very visible. E.g. they are displayed on the main page as the ‘official tags’
We could also make better use of tags.
Yes, if there were a reasonably small set of tags used consistently, and a way to navigate by them, that would work just as well.
The subforums approach essentially forces that indexing work up-front at the time of posting. Otherwise it’s pretty similar.

I think that would be a good feature. Current tags aren’t very useful.
