Our last post was about creating a Twitter landing page. This helps people learn more about you and make a decision on following you. How do you make your decisions on who to follow yourself? This is just as important, if not more important than who is following you. Those you follow can help you learn,  educated you or keep you informed.

How do you find these people? Some of them you will find out about by visiting a website and seeing a link for their Twitter page. Follow the link and then follow them to keep up to date with changes and advances for companies you are interested in. If you are following someone whose opinions and ideas you value, take a look at who they follow. This could give you some great ideas.

Looking for others within your own industry is a good idea. There are always others you can learn from and who might be more informed than you. Sharing knowledge and ideas is one of the best things about Twitter! If you use it to build relationships, there could be some invaluable new contacts created.You can use the search function in Twitter to find people, or use Topsy.com to see who is searching about topics you are interested in.
