These starter packs sound like a good idea, but I have a hard time using them to find interesting people to follow.
When I look at at the "People" tab, they look like pretty impressive people (academics, etc), and then I look at the "Posts" tab and it's the usual noise: cat pictures, politics, etc. Not a lot of signal.

It's like the old days of Twitter are back, but it does take a lot of work to find that corner.
