Twitterers.

Followformation is pretty simple to use and understand. Twitter users are broken up into categories of
interest like celebrity, writer, NBA, or travel, which you can select to find new people to follow. Should
you check the preview box, you can even hover over category names to see individual users. Then you
can select to follow the top 10 – 50 from each category, add your Twitter login credentials, and click
follow to automatically follow new people.

FollowFormation
BY CHRIS DANNEN Tue Jul 28, 2009 at 11:31 AM


This morning we reported that nearly 70% of adult Americans are clueless about Twitter.
Here's one new tool that can help them out.




FollowFormation is a free service launched last week by an 18-year-old entrepreneur
named Brian Wong. Brian zipped his way through an undergrad business degree and
promptly created a service that he says will help users find and follow top users according
to their interests. "For new users, finding who to follow can be intimidating," he says. In
the first few days of service, FollowFormation gained about 25,000 users, and the number                        C

is rising.                                                                                                      I
