Using user fields for tags

When a user signs up they gets to add additional information called “Skills”

http://www.stomptheweb.co.uk/skillswap/members/jones/profile/

For examples there are gardens and laywers in there.

What I would like it for each of these words to be tags instead of appearing like this:

http://www.stomptheweb.co.uk/skillswap/members/?s=gardens

Can anybody think of a way to do this?

If not would it be possible for me to bring back a list of all skills on the site into a tag cloud like the prebuilt tag cloud currently does with tags or categories?

Cheers,
Steve

I’m looking for something similar too for my site http://flipnclick.com
Wanted to show the expertise of my members similar to a tag cloud format.

Here’s an option:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

It turns any profile field into a clickable search term that brings up directory of all profiles matching that term. Could be useful… depends on how you want to use it.

Does anyone know how to make this a tag for posts (as opposed to people)? That’s really what I need.
