WeFollow.com a User Powered Twitter Directory


What is WeFollow.com? Kevin Rose, founder of Digg created the site WeFollow.com which is a user-powered twitter directory.

I have to admit, i did not stumble upon this myself. @JimNorton (my favorite comedian) mentioned it in one of his tweets. OK that is all fine, but what in the world is a user-powered twitter directory? Well from what i gather it is a very nice search able directory of twitter users. These users are categorized by different tags or categories. The user-powered part comes in by the fact that you have to add yourself to this directory.

You sign-up and give yourself up to three tags (example is Blogger, Tech, Radio, Celebrity, etc) and you will be placed into those categories. This site is a real nice way to search out more people to follow in your area of interest.

The one downside to this site is however the tags are self-assigned, so I could say i am a rockstar, celebrity, and author. I however am none of the above, but i would show up there. I guess we just need to trust that people won't do something like that. haha.

None the less, I have found this site to be a very good idea and helpful in finding like-minded people, or groups.

I would love for you to check it out and leave some feedback on your thoughts!
