    The tagging system is a nice idea, but in the current incarnation it seems that the primary function is to collect the most common (and therefore trite) snide comments that people make, and post them at the top of a story. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. I can't count how many laughs I've gotten out of reading the tags that get associated with articles. That's not how they were "intended" to be used? Oh.
