OK, so Twitter is one of those things that you either love or hate and is talked about adnausium on many websites and podcasts. I completely didn’t get the use of twitter partly because no one that I personaly know, uses it. Most of my friends are not very tech/net savvy and to be completely honest I am really bad at maintaining interpersonal relationships. Factor in that I tend to dislike canned news from the major networks and that Twitter is not very user friendly without getting some 3rd party help. Enter Mr Tweet.
Mr Tweet is a free service that scans your followers and followed. It then makes a list of recommended people for you to follow that may be of interest. It generally only takes a few hours for this process could take a week or so, in the case of Leo Laporte who is following 600 people and is followed by 60,000+ people. Now that I have been able to easily find other people on Twitter that have similar interests and who actually share those interests via tweets (a message on Twitter is called a tweet), Twitter has become much more useful to me.
