Related idea - would love better filtering, e.g. ability to filter on Stories vs. Hacks

I could not agree more. There is great content here, but finding what you need, when you need it, is critical for this to be used as a resource. I have the same problem with my company's website, and tagging is allowing us to (start to) resolve this. The related content becomes connected, so there is no "wrong" first choice.

I agree. I often read a post and then later am talking to someone and can share the idea but have difficulty sending them to the post

Thanks for this feedback Maddie, and we agree with your assessment on this point. We're very close to deploying an upgrade to our system that will include much improved smart-tagging and tag-based navigation. So look for some definite improvements in this area in the coming weeks!
