Twellow - Finding others in your niche

Looking to find people in your specific niche and industry? Twellow is great Twitter directory that can assist you with connecting to the right people for you. It is basically The Yellow Pages for Twitter. Twellow searches and analyzes millions of public tweets and associates them back to the owners, they then take the owner (user) and categorize them by topic.

You can browse their site by topic looking for whatever peaks your interest, or you can drill down further into a specific category and find a more refined search results. For example, if I just look under the Green category, you will see there are more than 17,000 people, but if I look for people talking about or associated with Pets (in the Green category), than comes back with 49. That is much more manageable. After that you can scan people by location, what they are saying etc.

Don’t forget to add your profile as well. To do that first make sure you are not already there by entering your Twitter username in the search box. If it is there,make sure to complete your profile. If it is not there, add it by following the step-by-step process outlined on the Twellow site.

A very easy tool to use, so get out there and let your twingers do the walking!
