Bees Love Truth

This pisses me off. Not the concept of tracking people and synthesizing behavior/buying patterns, whatever. That's slightly distasteful, but it doesn't upset me. I'm even interested to some extent by the idea of extrapolating from external cues what people will like. It pisses me off that the jerks that had their movie fortunes read by those other jerks were so freaking predictable.
Although it does piss me off also that the movie jerks think the Big Lebowski is a stoner movie. Bitchfaces.

You know what would be expedient? If LJ interests and LJ tags could somehow be crossed, so that tag-interests could somehow grow organically out of what tags you use and how often. That way it's meaningful all by itself, as opposed to constructed to hopefully be meaningful. (I was just going back and tagging entries, and happened upon my big whiny post about LJ interests.)
However, the way you'd use tags would have to be a little different (categories could be less broad and such), but whatever. It's easier to put names to concrete things you are currently talking about than to divide your whole consciousness into named piles.

Also I would really like a way to mass-tag things on LJ, as lastfm does it, f'rinstance. Going back and tagging entries one by one is so much for chumps that it's all over you screen.
