Tags are a double edged sword. On one hand they offer quick and easy classification. On the other hand, without a clear classifier system they become erratic and of much less use than originally intended, simply because everyone uses different "internal" classifier system. HN has pretty wide variety of topics making usefulness somewhat doubtful. The bigger problem is not browsing top page, but tag based search. Actually HN already has most of the functionality required. I always found it strange why I can submit either URL OR text. Sometimes it is actually difficult to express the main point in a title sentence. We could provide short summary for the article in the text section.
