A new global twitter directory debuts: WEFOLLOW.COM

The last few days have been full of twitter messages to @wefollow with hashtags like #creative or #technology.You may be asking yourself what is that all about? 

Well it turns out that the young entrepreneur behind digg.com Kevin Rose has launched a new service that is quickly gaining traction in the world of twitter.The new site is called wefollow.com and it is a directory where twitter users tag themselves with 3 attributes via hashtags [the #something ] and this website collects all names with a similar hashtag and sorts them by popularity.This service is pretty useful and solves a few shortcomings with twitter. 

Twitter is all about real time interaction but it doesn't show people a way to find other users that have shared interests without a lot of trial and error.  Wefollow.com solves this vaccum pretty elegantly  Just tag yourself with three things that describe you and then others will be able to see you in the directory and if they choose they will follow you.

How did I tag myself you ask?  I chose #gay #mba and #pmp  It will be interesting to see how tags change over time and whether the limit of three will ever be raised.  More than one person has bemoaned that rather arbitrary limit.Check out wefollow.com and give it a spin
