A couple of things I've noticed that may or may not be knew, but I just saw them:
I don't use the homepage, and I was on yesterday morning so obviously didn't notice that, but in the same arena, have I just not noticed before the slender rectangular tag box at the bottom of each page or is that a new addition?
Whether its new or old, what's its purpose, with a limitation of two tags per page, when on a normal page there are more topics or items to be tagged than two? And if I'm thinking about tagging properly, remember I work in a library, as a cataloger, with MARC records with multiple tags per field, a very simple abbreviated author, title, publisher record has a at least 7 tags; and we electronically tag books to prevent theft. So if I were tagging to organize a thread/page: one, I'd need more tags than allowed and why would I want my tags to be public? Or is this supposed to be an everyone participates at whatever level they have knowledge to better organize the bb, which to me will cause more jumble with 10 jillion different systems being used which would span the universe from highly focused to very broad and general.
I'm sure I've thought way too long and hard on this with analysis and must be missing the main point of its use....
The second item: is the notification down arrow, in the private message area box new, with the drop-down menu? I like it.
