The current implementation of the API does not provide a way for us to fetch a user's "interesting tags". The /users/{id}/tags unfortunately returns all tags a user has participated in, which I'm not sure how it is helpful. It would be nice if I could highlight "interesting" questions in my app just like the trilogy sites do it.

This is definitely private and should not be exposed by a read-only API that does not authenticate for that user.

With the SE coming together and the inevitability of some sites that may have more "colorful" topics, I came around to your thinking.

This is private per-user information. Accordingly we can't expose it until some sort of user auth is in place, which isn't a v1 target.
