"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

Topic tags (D) -- confusable with journal tags Keywords (D) -- (connotes something else to Kareila) Topic keywords (D) Topics

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)

Unserious

likes (Kareila) "this is good" (D, for Mark)
