To make the most of Twitter, you need followers. How many is debatable, but the more you have the more fun the blue bird can be.

But what i want to know is – which twitter directory do you go to when you want to add followers? Is it Twellow, We Follow, a location based directory such as Local Tweeps, an interest (or category) based directory such as Twubble, a business directory such as Twibs, or do you simply use the trusty and up to the minute Twitter Search.

Please take a minute to let me know in the poll below. If you’re fave is not listed, vote other – and just mention it in the comments area.

This update introduces you to two very cool finds. One is the word awesomesauce (cleverly adopted by blogger david risley) this is the hilarious term he uses to describe the latest twitter tool /app/ widget called Twellow.

It is the newest craze in twitterland. You know i really have to come up with a devilishly clever term to describe something. Lets see what awefabulous niftyrella groovycheese whippercrack word i can conjure up. Anywho to get back on topic, lets say a thing or two on Twellow.

Twellow allows members of micro blogging site Twitter, to easily search for other members of common interest. Say you want to meet and mingle with other greenies or vegetarians?  Head on over to the green or vegetarian categories, or alternatively you can perform a search. As you will see (yours truly) is #6 in the veggie category. You can also add yourself to the list here.

Who comes up first, second, and so on, on the list is ordered up by number of followers. He who has the most ends up first on the list for said category.

I played around with Twellow, one pet peeve, is the inability to follow directly from their interface. Like when i search for like minded people, naturally the next step would be to follow them. But alas i still need to head on over to Twitter for this.  Arrggh!

All in all the new twitter app Twellow…..is groovycheese! (i know. i know. that isnt quite as cool a term as awesomesauce)
