It’s not the Yellow Pages it’s the Twellow Pages!
June 2nd, 2008 by Andy Merchant
Twitter is a hotbed for application creation at the moment, with new ones appearing every day.
Most of them are a waste of time, but this Twitter application caught my eye. It’s called Twellow, a name derived from the Yellow pages I suspect.
What is it?
It’s a kind of directory for Twitter. It works by looking at your public profile and detecting which best sub category you will fall into.
I have been put into the media category, which I would say is probably the correct category for me.
Why do I like it?
Pretty simple really - because it’s in the style of a directory you can go to any category you’re interested in, and follow anyone in that sector very easily. It also gives you a heads up to the most followed in each sector and their last Tweet.
But more importantly, it easily gives you the ability to follow a whole new spectrum of people if you’re getting tired of the same old people within your current network!
Which category has the most people in?
327 profiles under the News category.
248 Entertainment
232 Media
230 Management
223 Software
So the runaway leader is the news category, which makes sense because Twitter is becoming know as a bit of news breaking source.
