finger a list from a file

I am trying to find a way of fingering the first field in a listfile created from the who command, and write the results to a new file

eg

"`who | cut -f1 -d' '` | more > tam"
gives me the list I need

but

tam -f1 finger > tam2
does not produce the right results

Thank you in advance for any help even a pointer in the right direction
