Twitter added a new feature suggesting users to follow.

twitter-follow-suggest-tool

Pros:

  • The tool suggests nearly 20 users
  • You can follow the suggested users on the same window
  • Allows mass follow
  • The suggestions change when page is refreshed, but some suggestions are repeated

Cons:

  • Funny! there is no twitter id or link to the suggested users’ profile page. If you want to get more information about a user, you’ll have to use a different tool to locate. Now this is not handy.
  • I didn’t understand if there was an algorithm to base suggestions on. Most of the results that ended for my account had nothing in common with my interests :(

The tool is rather rustic as of now. Hope it will be improved soon. Until then, I have my handy-dandy list of 30 alternatives to twitter search + 30 tools to find and manage followers on twitter.

I’d like to know your thoughts about the tool and How do you find people to follow on twitter?
