twitter 202 -- how to find people to follow on twitter

now that your twitter account is all set up, and you know who you want to follow on twitter, all you have to do is find some tweeple (twitter people) to follow. here is how I find other tweeple:

  1. first, you can follow me, carynbrown (send me an @carynbrown tweet saying you are reading my "it's all geek to me" blog and I will follow you back)
  2. follow back the people that follow you
  3. look at the tweeple who your twitter friends are talking to and re-tweeting (remember you can click on the @[twitter username] to open up their twitter homepage)
  4. go to the twittersearch page and put in things that you are interested in (i.e. knitting) to find other people tweeting about the same topics
  5. when you are reading an article or a blog that you like, check to see if they have a link to their twitter page in the sidebar or at the bottom of the article
  6. use twittergrader:
    follow twittergrader on twitter
    then go to the twitter grader webpage enter your twitter user name and click on "grade" to let them grade you
    they will suggest users for you to follow
    you can also click on "twitter elite" in the upper right-hand corner and search for people that are the top twitters
  7. follow mrtweet on twitter, after following him for a week or so, he will send you a DM (direct message) on twitter with a link to a list of people to follow, you can go to the mr. tweet website for more information
other twitter search sites (I have not used these yet)
as usual, here are some links to other blog posts and articles on how to find people to follow on twitter:
