@julian I like @yariplus solution better, I don't see random colour tags being a core feature
Thinking more about TAGs...
-
TAGs is very useful and powerful for helping user discovery contents.
I am thinking about 2 new Tag features which may be useful for many use cases:
(1) Category-specific Tags : when user go to a specific category, we can show a set of Tags relevant to that category only (if we have more than 1000 tags , it's not good to show some unrelevant tags for that category).
(2) Tag navigation: for example - we have 2 tags: one is "New York CIty", another is "Sushi", how do we support the use case like this: user click tag "New York CIty" -- it show lots of topics being tagged with "New York City", but the user want to further narrow down to see all posts being tagged as "Sushi" -- but only those topics/posts also being tagged as "New York City". our current tag navigation seems not support this kind of use case yet.
my 2 cents.

@julian for #1, "top tags" in a category - just show top N in case too many tags in that category. that's great. i am wondering how to let user specify a category-specific tag when user post a new Topic.... or maybe only allow admin to pre-define a set of category-specific tags.....
for #2, "NY" tag and "sushi" tag intersect.... the issue i am not clear is when it start and end the tag intersect/combination when user navigate the tags in a session... -

@miluo Well in that case, tag A and Tag B would point to the same topic. If Tag B is being displayed when you're browsing through Tag A, then tags A & B are contained in the same topic. Perhaps at the top should be something like
Tag A x
Tag B x
, if you don't want Tag A anymore, close it, and you're left with just tag B. Then you can define a different Tag instead. -
