Twitter: Who To Follow Suggestions

Twitter Who To Follow

I logged into my personal Twitter account on friday and was surprised to see a new “feature” in my top right info box.

Twitter was making suggestions on who I should follow (rather than suggesting related Twitter links, applications and definitions like it had done in this space before.)

Both of the recommendations were fairly accurate – being that they were film industry related and that is primarily who I follow and who follows me and what I tweet about.

Interesting move Twitter… have any of you experienced this on your account yet?

You can also browse users by “Interests” now. Though results are HEAVILY weighted towards celebrities and “verified” accounts. (see below)
