Twitter changes complexion and value MANY times in the course of building your tribe. Start with someone else's 'suggestions', and you don't understand all the ways the tool is useful. To be honest, my list is getting unmanageable. I'm about to do some major pruning, pulling people that seemed interesting at the time, but don't really provide any value for me. I will always reply and interact with replies -- and I typically add and follow people who do. But for now, my Tweetstream is being overrun with things that are clogging the messages I would like to see. Saddling someone with a Starter Pack that instantaneously adds people who are valuable to someone else might not be the best idea. For what it's worth, this was debated actively on Twitter, and I lost. That said, I really don’t like the idea of a “Twitter Pack” to get people started.
