“Find People” gets on facelift on Twitter
Half of my followers are regular folks who are into regular stuff, the other half are geeks, or Online marketing guys. And soon, the tweets get really boring. I decided to expand my horizon and follow more regular, good/old Americans, party girls, frat boys, GGW (girls gone wild), movie stars, paparazzis, sports figures, or the boring guy who always sun tan himself on his tiny roof even when it’s cloudy. Normal folks are fun, in their normal ways.
Ok, get to the point. Twitter’s people find UI was dreadful before, so dry that I never had confidence that it would spit out any juicy information. But this morning I was pleasantly surprised. Twitter just gave its “People Find” a huge face lift. See the screen shot below
1. Friend find default: search by username, first or last name
I did a search for “girls gone wild”, 1 result in 0.124 seconds, to compare the search speed, I searched “girls on gone wild” on Google, guess what: 6.9 million result in 0.07 seconds. Twitter search is much slower than Google’s. (I will have a more indepth search analysis on Twitter). Here is the search result page on Twitter. I liked it for its simplicity, and other options available on the side bar in case no results are shown.
2. Find on other network: Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, MSN
3. Invite by email:
4. Of course, Suggested users
