| May 14, 2013 at 11:59 | comment | added | Rachel | My biggest problem with not having the tags in the title is when I'm posting a new question, and try to review the Related Question list to see if what I'm posting has already been posted somewhere. You can't see tags there, and the content isn't filtered by tag, so although the title might match mine, there's no context given for what sub-category the post is in so it is likely to not be of interest to me. Sometimes I'll waste a bunch of time clicking through the links there, but most times I just ignore them if there's a lot of close matches. | |

The tag is very prominent in the question list, and is therefore hard to miss. Their placement on the question excerpt indicates that they are important in understanding what the question is about (not to mention that tags are used everywhere on the internet. They're not some new thing). | |

On this site, headings don't convey a topic. You need to also find a smaller, additional piece of info, which often is the key word needed to summarize the question. | |
