Yes! A thousand times this. Being able to distinguish users was the whole reason I thought up the interactions thing. There's a post of mine from ages ago with I think thenewgreen about avatars where I proposed that people should be able to add RES-like tags to people. Maybe even give it a color. Or, better, let me choose what color/font/whatevs the people I follow look like (because I might deeply hate your Gothic typeface, Klein). But yeah, just like on facebook, if I can better recognize you, I will sooner care about you and think of you as someone not like everyone else. As long as a feature is not too taxing on the servers I'm all for it.
