It feels pretty clear to me that this is how following recommendations should work. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/buzz">buzz</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/follow">follow</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/following">following</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/google-buzz">google-buzz</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/privacy">privacy</a></p>
