    Tags are basically subreddits, and are doomed to run into the same problems. Encourage following users over following tags.

This is a very good point. Tags are good for content discovery. They are bad for feed-building. That's one reason why I am ok about improving the tag-related search functionality, but not so keen on making a list front and center.

Currently a lot of suggestions are coming from people that haven't used the site for more than a day or two. I am taking that into consideration. But, I appreciate the voice of caution.

As for the dark blue... c'mon you just joined! Just kidding. I could probably make it a bit lighter and yet keep it distinct. You aren't the only one to comment on it. It's much easier to read in the other three Hubski styles.

Haha! I know I just joined, but I always find that the longer I use something the more numb I become to those little irking details. I'm sure in a few months/weeks I won't even think about the color and if someone asks me about it I'll say, "Pshaw! It's perfect and you're the faulty one! Besides, quit reading over my shoulder!" But that guy's a jerk anyways, so don't worry what I say to him.

I also edited that comment- I don't wanna sound like an entitled/know-it-all whiner after just 1 day here. I really think that hubski is a great idea, and I'm excited to use it daily or more often!
