As others have said, the "unshared" page is a great idea. Something what bothers me tough is that I have absolutely no real way of finding what is going on with a tag. For example, I want to keep up to date with the #bugski posts. I have no quick way of finding all those posts.

I would propose a change in definition of following. Instead of following and letting them show up in the feed, you have a special "follow" page which contains the links to your favorite tags. It still does promote following hubs, but at the same time, it doesn't make finding you favorite tags more difficult than it should be. I think this might also be a problem for you (mk), since you want to keep up to date with bugski as well.

This is just me rambling beforehand. I"m curious as to how this will work out. Let the experiment begin!

EDIT: Seems I can't read. Searching for a tag works, so there goes my idea about it being too much work. If you can't remember the tag, you weren't interested anyway.
