How I Met Your Tweeple – Finding Targeted Twitter Followers

Summary

One of the questions I hear most often from new Twitter users is, “How do I find people to follow?” It goes hand in hand with the question at the core of most Twitter users minds, “How do I get people to follow me?” I’ve had great success with building my “twittersphere,” the sum total of people I follow and people who follow me – mostly due to a few simple strategies I put in place when I first joined the service.

Twitter Search is Your Friend

Probably the single best way I’ve found to find the people on Twitter who’re having the conversations you’re interested in is to search for those conversations. Most major Twitter clients (Twitteriffic, Tweetdeck, Seesmic Desktop, etc) allow you to run a constant Twitter search of the Twittersphere for a query (in Twitter’s search syntax), basically turning the search results for that query into a real-time feed of people having a conversation about a given topic.
