Web App: Who Should I Follow?

This item was filed under [ web apps ]

Who Should I Follow? is a web app that allows users to find other users to follow based on similarities to those already being followed.

Features:

  • very easy-to-use UI
  • simply enter Twitter username and go
  • list of those you might follow is generated, along with info about similarities to those you already follow

The Good:

Who Should I Follow? is a good tool for quickly finding other Twitter users with similar characteristics to your existing group of friends. Info is provided on prospective followees including their location, a bio, number of tweets per day and other users to whom they are similar. There is a “follow” function, and the ability to see more users similar to the prospect. You can also drill down and get graphical information on tweets per day, replies per day and replies to per day. Kudos to the developers too for recognizing that the title of their application is grammatically incorrect.

The Not-so-Good:

The one thing we would like to see improved on Who Should I Follow? is the “follow” function. Clicking on the follow link takes you to your Twitter page where you then have to execute a follow command. It would be better to have a seamless follow function, along the lines of Mr. Tweet, for example. Other than that, this is a rather useful application.
