Twitter Now Suggests Who To Follow

01 Twitter Now Suggests Who To Follow

So Twitter has launched another new feature. Twitter now suggests people for you to follow on not only your “home” page, but also when you follow someone new. I guess I can understand why they did this, I mean Facebook has the “suggested friends” option, but Facebook and Twitter are actually very different in the way people connect.

The thing I do not like about this new feature is that most of the people that Twitter is suggesting are people that I just recently weeded out from following due to spammy Tweets or celebrities and I rarely follow any of them because I enjoy the “social” aspect of Twitter.

What do you think?

Do you care who Twitter suggests to you?

You drawed my attention to that, because I simply just did not notice the new option! I assume that with the time, Twitter will have dozens of new options.

Not a fan of of Who to Follow suggestions for the very same reason. I have not come across any suggestion of interest thus far. Additionally, this suggests quanity follow vs. quality follow. Good thing it is optional feature you can simply ignor.

I found it very odd that Twitter suggested I follow someone who hadn’t tweeted in over a year???

Hm, i don’t really care about this new feature, sometime i check the profile first before deciding who to follow or not.

I think its ok for them to suggest but its up to an individual to decide just like on facebbok one can ignore some suggested friends
