Web App: WeFollow

This item was filed under [ web apps ]

WeFollow is a web app that allows users to find Twitter users based on tags.

Features:

  • users send @reply to @wefollow with up to three #tags
  • web UI ranks users by tag and number of followers
  • all tags/keywords are searchable

The Good:

WeFollow is a good tool to find Twitter users based on #tags or keywords. It is not unlike other search tools, but the display ranks the results by number of followers. You can click and drill down for further info on each user, which includes their latest tweet, full name, website and other tags. A sidebar shows popular #tags and the Top 100 tweeters (again based on number of followers).

The Not-so-Good:

WeFollow is a fine search tool, but there were two points that we wanted to raise: 1) there is no feature to follow a Twitter user directly from within WeFollow – you have to go to the Twitter.com site, and 2) the measure of a “top tweeter” employed by WeFollow is solely the number of followers, not most active, most re-tweeted, which is fine, but some may want a more meaningful measure (some may not care, which is fine too).

Tweetwave.com rates it: ★★★
