In the never-ceasing quest to find new, interesting people to follow, tweeps often need a hand. Newcomer FollowFinder wants to help you find new friends. First tweeting on December 19th, FollowFinder has sent over 750 recommendations to various users in the Twittersphere.

Great! Where do I sign?

To use FollowFinder, head to followfinder.org and enter your username. You’ll then be shown a challenge code which you must send from your Twitter account to prove that you are who you say you are, you nefarious little devil you. Once you prove your identity, you’ll be queued up to get matched with other people. My update took just a few minutes, and here’s what FollowFinder suggested for me:

How’s it work?

All 5 suggestions were people I’m not already following AND were people that live in my geographic area. After checking out their updates, most of them pose at least some kind of interest to me, but one user had protected updates. This leads me to believe that FollowFinder analyzes your network and checks out who other people are following in your network. All in all, a simple way to find new friends.
