How would it work if you were to go to more than one page? For example: Home Page: "This is a feed of awesome content. It shows the content that users you follow share. It's easy to find users to follow." Highlight "tags" link at top: "One way to find new users to follow is by finding people who share your interests. This is where you can see all the tags people on hubski use." Go to tag page/highlight "music" tag: "We love our music here. If you click this you can see all the recent posts about music" Go to music tag page (http://hubski.com/tag?id=music): "You can see people like bfv and flagamuffin like music a lot. It would be a good idea to follow these users if you want to see more music on your feed." Go to user profile (http://hubski.com/user?id=bfv) "Maybe you want to check out what this person usually posts." Highlight "interested in" : "Does this user post stuff that you find interesting? If so, click follow" (rough, but you see what I mean?)
Hmm, that's a good point. Perhaps something can be put together using the preview popups (I don't know what they're actually called, I just refer to them as cboxElements) that are used for previewing posts on the main page and things like seeing who badged a particular post. We could probably even embed things like the music tag page into a cboxElement so they could have real info and be able to interact right away.
I think "interested in" has been due for a makeover for a while. I think it should just be the tags each user has most used, but currently it's more of a recent tags thing. Mine's misleading at the moment. As an aside: I just noticed the new badge feature by clicking on the badge on this post. I think the design there could be a little cleaner, particularly alignment.
