    So, my point isn't that your way of meeting people isn't valid, it is. I use it myself. My point is that meeting people through topics is often our only means by which to do so at first. New users will likely be more tag heavy than veteran users. My hope is that we will see an arc over the span of a users time here, bending towards the following of users.

I think this early desire to seek out tags can be satisfied with the existence of tag feeds, but reliance on such discovery should be discouraged by preventing users from following the tags.
