You see, the first thing I did was try and find people that I KNEW were on the service. It took me 20 minutes of clicking around since the "Find People" function didn't work even though they did use their real names on their profile. This is one of the motivating factors behind Simler. We do exactly what you describe and set up the new user with other people that like what they like, that are near them, all without creating a default list.

So many times it's easy to think what a dev or techie wants but it's rarely what your end user will want. I think about this every day at my startup.
