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’
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.
