So How is Followformation Better?
Just today, Twitter announced their new version of the “Suggested Users List”. We’re very happy that they’ve finally had the chance to sit down and map out an alarmingly similar tool that will help new users follow get started with Twitter. Complete with a “special” compiled “Haiti” category. Thanks guys!
So rather than let those quick-to-judge to jump on the “official” bandwagon, we’re listing out quick reasons below as to why Followformation is still a better user discovery tool. Let’s call this pre-emptive =)
- Followformation allows you to follow groups of top users (in groups of 10, 20, up to 50, with a max limit of 100).
- Followformation considers all users in the Twitter ecosystem with its automated categorization and ranking algorithm.
- Followformation enables the discovery of an unlimited amount of topics. Just create a custom category.
- Followformation enables an advertising system to help users that would not normally be on the “celebrity/popular person” crosshairs of Twitter to be able to gain exposure.
- Followformation ultimately saves you time and helps the little guy.
- Scoble likes us =).
And we’re happy to report that we’ve got some extremely exciting news to share with you next week related to a really large event that is occurring in Vancouver next month that will bring Followformation to the next level as a user discovery tool. We’re pumped.
Update: According to Techcrunch’s new article about Twitter’s new SUL, there is controversy about certain politicians being listed and others being omitted. Please note: Followformation’s algorithm is politically neutral.
