I’m always on the look out for new tools to find new people to follow – something that Twitter.com has yet to really embrace. Some of the leading tools include Mr. Tweet, which suggests new people to followed based on your friends and tweets.
Another interesting tool is TweepML, which serves two purposes by helping you find new people and groups to follow. What’s nice about TweepML is the ability to follow individuals, follow everyone within a group, or follow a group itself. Depending on your needs and interests, TweepML offers nice flexibility.
To use TweepML, you search for a topic or select one of the popular lists. Here’s a search for “social media”:
And here’s a particular list with each member within that list. At this point, you can follow the list or select people within that list to follow. Each member of the list has their Twitter profiles, which makes it easier to pick off select people.
Bottom Line: TweepML is a solid service to find new people or lists to follow. If it could be improved, it would be great to not have to provide your username and password every time you want to follow a list or people on list. In the scheme of things, this is more of a small quibble given TweepML’s value.
