Let's face it, as a business tool twitter gets a lot more interesting when you are following people who have conversations and point to content that you find relevant for your business or industry. But, on the surface, finding people related to your business can prove a little challenging using the built in twitter search tools. You can easily use the advanced search features to find people by geography and those using obvious industry terms in their tweets, but there's a lot of data missing from this kind of search.

I did know about Twellow, but I hadn't heard about Twitterel or TweepSearch. I have to check them out. I can't follow more users at the moment due to Twitter's follow limit rule.

Have you seen that @Scobleizer unfollowed about 100,000 people and then manually added users. He is now following around 1600 users.

It will be important that new tools and applications are developed for a more personalized and specialized Twitter experience and usage of the microblogging phenomena, otherwise I think it will come a backlash against it in the near future. It should be easy to find relevant information and interesting participants. I know that this takes time and I am in no hurry. It takes time to build relationships. But it must become easier for "newbies" to learn the ropes. It is good that the folks at Twitter has written a start guide now.
