Who Should I follow (quite the long name) is a sponsored website with one field on the homepage asking for your Twitter id. The About page shows who made the page but not how it worked.
I entered my name and was welcomed with a simple interface with two cool controls:
- A slider for less popular or more popular. Basically a way to trim down people on the number of followers they have. While not always the best indicator (look at my count, ugh), a neat way to trim the fat
- A slider for location based on where you place yourself. I list St Louis, so it allows me to say anywhere or closer in range
While neither of these show how close or how many followers the slider represents, it is nice. Below that was a list of suggestions based upon who else those you follow, well follow. So the more of your followers that follow that person, the higher in the rankings as a suggestion.
It tells you how many tweets per day, their location, avatar and bio line. Then a link to follow them, which really just takes you to twitter.com with the link line to add them. So they get around dealing with authentication to Twitter.
I like the simplicity and the slider but hope they can add a couple minor items. Their last couple of tweets would be nice to see. Also the numbers they follow and are followed by to weed out any possible spammers.
To dig deeper, each person allows you to see more like a particular person as a link. This is a nice touch and works against the person’s profile instead of just the number of in common followers they have.

The link only pulls up an image rather than linking to their web site.
Thanks, fixed. must have been a late night
