True I am still used to the old one and am actually looking for the interest I have with me in the old site but I could not find it anymore. I find it hard to looks for my friend's post anymore unless I really explore the few options left to explore in here. But I do hope they could restore the interest I chose since most of my friends stay there and the topics are very much related to my interest but in the new mylot interest is scattered already and you really have to scour each and every post that would catch your interest.

As long as people learn to make good and intelligent use of tagging, it should be just as easy to find things as before.
Most people find that the more they use the site, the better they like it.
