Innovation: User Profile Tags / Show your Tags and Interests

Innovation: User Profile Tags / Show the Tags and Interests you like








Advantages:
- show on our Profile-Page which "Tags / Topics" you are interested in
- Users with common interests will find each other easily
- find threads based on your personal interests easily



Examples:

I like the idea of having user tags. Can call them whatever you want. Good idea.

 

[erich37]

it is literally the same "tags" we already have with XenForo 1.5
Just giving the user the ability to add some "tags" to his Profile-Page.

Thereby it is easy and quick to find other users with common interests and therefore fuel discussion.
Also, you can find threads based on your interests immediately after filling-in your Profile-Page with these "interests".


It is not a big deal to implement this.
It is just the ability to put the already existing "tags"-system onto the "User Profile".



My mockup above is not great from a "design perspective".
It needs to be made a bit "nicer".

yeah, I was surprised about this as well

This could work well together with following/watching tags.
Watch thread tags

I found a very nice example for this suggestion:

In this example, the Tags are named "Skills".


Tag-Cloud
(in this example, the Tag-Cloud is named "Popular Skills"):
Browse Hourlies by Skills - PeoplePerHour.com


User Profile-Page
(in this example, the Tags are named "Skills") - see the Sidebar at the left:
Hire Supratim D. on PeoplePerHour


Resource Manager / Member-List
this might be an example for the ability to filter the RM and the Member-List by "Tags" or "Skills":
PeoplePerHour - photoshop freelancers, freelance professionals & consultants

Interesting. Facebook may be doing something similar. Facebook is testing out LinkedIn-style profile tags

Note that it also says "Add Tag".
wording when no tags available: "Add Tags"

I found an interesting Forum which is using something like this suggestion:

http://www.wecenter.com




Example:

You can "Like" the "Tags" and the "Liked Tags" show up at your "Profile-Page".
It also shows the overall "number of Likes" for each Tag.

I love the idea, hope someone can make this addon.

Check out user essentials. I didn't include all the features but I did make it so users can add tags to their profile.

 

[erich37]

Alternatively, it could be made like this:

If you "Like" a "Tag", then this "Tag" shows up at your "Profile Page".

 

[rafass]

some addon can do this already?
