One of things I struggled with when I signed up for twitter was the lack of easy way to find people to follow.
I remember (unsuccessfully) googling ‘twitter’ + ‘keyword’ in the hope I would find some like-minded twitterers. Eventually I found the twitter fan wiki which is a great resource but quite techy and requires patience.
My suggestion for solving this problem?
Twitter Communities
Twitterers could categorise themselves by subject-based community (technology, music, photography, food, politics etc).
As well as the public timeline each community could have a timeline, along with a list of members starting with most recently joined.
This would be great for newbies as they try and figure out what Twitter is all about and for old-timers and newbies alike as a way of finding people to follow.
What do people think? Is this something that can be set up as a stand-alone app? Does something like this already exist?
