Tagging users (with interests/passions/skills etc)

Continuing the discussion from Introducing the Staff Notes Plugin: I’m really keen to find a way to tag users with interests/skills/passions so that I can pull people into relevant discussions. I had hoped to use the staff notes plugin, but it’s not working out, so I’m wondering about the logistics of custom profile fields. How easy is it to pull that data? Or perhaps a more appropriate question would be how would others approach this?
