Comment:

 The original ticket description asks for aggregating data via RSS and
 harvesting the content to find tags.

 This is out of scope with what the ticket title suggests.

 ----

 I'm going to address what the ticket title says - "Find friends based on
 tags"

 This ticket is five years old; the XProfile component has improved since
 then and now makes some determinations to auto-link content.

 To test:
 * Login to the WP dashboard
 * Navigate to "Users > Profile Fields"
 * Create a new profile field and make it a "Multi-line Text Box".
 * Next, navigate to the frontend and go to "Profile > Edit".
 * Fill in your new profile field and type in some tags separated by a
 comma.
 * Save and view your profile.
 * You should now be able to click on those tags to find people with the
 same tag.

 Yes, this could be improved in a plugin or as a patch to core.

 Closing for now based on other dev feedback.
