The “tracked tags” feature is helpful and I like the implementation of it. It generally works pretty well for me.

What would be even better would be if I had the option to have the results of those tracked tags show up directly in the stream of my dashboard.

For example: every time someone tags a post with “Rochester,” it will show up in my dashboard just as though I was following that user.

There’d certainly be a level of confusion now and then, but I still think it’d be a good option to have.

I never thought I’d be so happy to see something turn blue.

You did it again.

You did that thing whereby introducing something new and/or tweaking our dashboards (with yesterdays radar/cats/$5-icons stunts) it results in completely fucking up our dashboards.

How many posts have I missed today because they didn’t get loaded into my dashboard?  A lot.  That’s how many.  Even one would be too many.

Again. I know. It’s free. Yada yada yada.  But for the love of all that is holy, why must you - on a seemingly monthly basis - screw up the one feature that makes your blogging platform better than the rest?
