"Interests" is a somewhat ambiguous name for a thing that's intended to be clear. Intended use: topics that this user may write about, which they want to be visible and discoverable.

History

This is inherited from LiveJournal; Brad's initial phrasing, words that could end the sentence "I like ___" had gnarly implications down the line.

But what word or short phrase is better?

Proposals

Serious

  • Topic tags (D) -- confusable with journal tags
  • Keywords (D) -- (connotes something else to Kareila)
  • Topic keywords (D)
  • Topics
  • "something to do with 'connection'" (Lassarina)

  • Something one is excited about (but not sure how to turn that into an applicable noun) (Lassarina)
  • Obsessions (MadGastronomer)
  • Fascinations (MadGastronomer)
  • Passions (Kareila) -- (does sound like a romance novel series, is definitely a soap opera, "graphic design is my passion")
  • Enthusiasms (MadGastronomer)
  • things I like that you might like too (h2)

Reframing the prompts

  • "things I am interested in" with helpful examples (genres of movie or book, bands) (lassarina)

  • special interests (MadGastronomer)
  • favorite things (Kareila)
  • what did MySpace call it (Lassarina)
