Actually, I think it is a good idea. Like you said earlier, it is not enough just upvoting and commenting on each others post. It will almost seem like it is all about the money. I think like every other community we can think of, it will do us a lot of good finding that person that shares the same interest with us and this can be definitely achieved through recommendation, resteeming and active participation.
Steemit community should be a community where people learn, enhance their abilities, build on their talents, creates wonderful memories and get to know each other, help each other. Thanks for the suggestion and I hope with time I will find those that we have things in common or people pointing them in my direction vice-versa. In case I find any for you, will definitely lead them right to you.
Lastly, your blog is wonderful and you have a great voice. Such a talent!
