TweepSearch: Find People to Follow by Interest/Experience
Tweepsearch“In ur Followers, Crawlin’ their Bioz!”
Keyword searches of the biographies of followers of any Twitter user. Able to index on the fly. (Example) It is less reliable for accounts with huge numbers of followers. Tested by me for profiles with up to several thousand followers.
I have found this useful where I want to learn about a new area. For example if I want to follow PR Twitterers, I can find someone who is prominent in that niche and search for “UK”, or search for “PR UK” for a person who has a wide readership.
