kleinbl00 I would be interested in your take on this? As someone that doesn't follow many people on Hubski, focuses more on tags and perhaps URLs, would you follow authors?
No. If someone thinks it's worthy of note, use a tag. Also heavily biases content towards externally authored, "pedigreed" posts - between a self post, a blog post, a scholarly article, a video, a picture or a newspaper column, only three of those six have "authors" and only one of those six benefits from the "author" tag.
Interesting point. Still, I can see videos and images having 'authors', some text posts too. I occasionally consider using the tag for the writer, but only in cases of fiction.Also heavily biases content towards externally authored, "pedigreed" posts - between a self post, a blog post, a scholarly article, a video, a picture or a newspaper column, only three of those six have "authors" and only one of those six benefits from the "author" tag.
