Please, please don't get rid of tags. It's one of the things that really made me excited about hubski. I think that as long as you keep putting emphasis on following users (like making the user page very informative and attractive, perhaps including statistics about the user's past posts and shares), tags can be a nice complement to that system.

Giving a user the ability to find posts from a subject they are interested in, even if the post is from a brand new user with 0 followers, that functionality is just too damn useful to do away with completely.
