I think it's a good idea. The interesting thing about steemit is that it's a mix of different things. What is unique about this network / community vs. other existing systems? Which of those do we want to highlight around users?

For instance, I'm actually disappointed that we show follower counts so prominently. In many ways, the steem rewards are where the quality of the content comes from, not followers. I do like the fact that I can browse who people are following ... but boiling that down to a number in the default view will lead to some of the same BS from systems like Twitter or Instagram.

Also, since tags are used, that is where interests could come from -- exploring a users postings from the tags they use, and the tags of the post they comment on.

I have some #steemit-feature of my own that I'll be writing up for the next couple of days. Thanks for sharing!
