Twitter has been one of the most popular and spoken about platform for all Internet marketing professionals and for some firms like JetBlue and Skittles, Twitter has actually been very effective. While Twitter has got a huge population and you can probably find the who's who from all fields it often becomes difficult to decide whom to follow.
Kevin Rose has now created a nice directory of Tweeples ( people in Twitter ) organized into categories called WeFollow. The home page of the site shows top 5 people for popular categories like celebrity, music, actors etc. The right hand side of the page shows a list of all the other categories ( tags) for which they have such a list. Digging down to any of these categories would show the list of people listed in them.
The categories are decided based on the tags that people add and so there is no definitive list of categories. The popularity of categories is decided based on the total number of followers in a particular category and accrodingly the categories are listed.
Also the Tweeples are listed by the number of followers they have and the more number of followers you have the higher up you go in your rankings.
Its pretty easy to get listed in WeFollow , all you have to do is to send a message as
@wefollow #YOURTAG #YOURTAG #YOURTAG
replace "YOURTAG" with tha tags that you want to associate with yourself like blogger, seo, internet marketing etc.
It is indeed a nice tool however this being a user generated tool doesn't have any restriction, that is , even if you are not a SEO you can add the SEO tag in your message and the directory would list you as a SEO.
WeFollow is not perfect yet and it would be interesting to see how it evolves going forward.
Best of luck Kevin !
