WeFollow.com

When I first started twittering, one of the first things I became frustrated with was finding twitters with the same interests I have. I discovered search.twitter.com, which got me started.

WeFollow.com, a Twitter directory takes that a step further by searching tags you assign (up to three). I’ve added hobbystash to quilting, crochet, and reading. And, I’ve already found several twitterers to follow.
