Twitter has always needed a good way to recommend people for others to follow. Since reputation and reccomendation goes to the very nature of a social networks I’ve found a new tool that’s a great way to share a list of folks, TweepML.org
I’ve created a couple of lists and due to the overwhelming response I felt that I needed to lay down some guidelines and explain the nature of these 2 lists.
The 2 lists are:
- The unOfficial Arkansas Twitter Directory – http://TweepML.org/Arkansas
- Locals that are active in the LRTweetup Community – http:/TweepML.org/LRTweetup
These lists are distinct and I like to offer some explanation and how you can contribute.
Arkansas Twitter Directory
The unOfficial Arkansas Twitter Directory (uATD) is an unofficial extension to the unOfficial Arkansas Twitter Guide (uATG). The uATG was compiled and maintained by Lance Turner (@LT). I can’t fully appreciate the amount of work he put into building such a comprehensive directory but I know many of us have used it as a touchstone for finding locals on Twitter. Once I discovered the TweepML service I thought it would be a natural extension to his work.
How was the directory built? – I took all the names from his page, pruned the closed accounts and added everyone to the directory. This directory is not affiliated with any organization or individual. It’s simply a list of folks that are active on Twitter and in Arkansas.
How can you be added to the list? – Please understand that if you were omitted that it was meant as no slight and we’d love to add you and any suggestions you have. There are 2 ways to make suggestions to the directory.
- Suggest to the List Creator – There are links in the sidebar on the directory page where you can additions or request removal. Simply submit the form and it will notify me.
- Reply to me – You can also make suggestions directly to me via Twitter. Click here and just modify the tweet for addition or removal. Make sure and reply to @tsudo and include the tag #uATD
The list is by no means comprehensive so I welcome your suggestions.
LRTweetup List
The LRTweetup Directory is a bit different. You can read the announcement of the list at LRTweetup.com, “Localizing your Twitter Stream”.
How was the list built?
This list was built at my discretion and by ongoing suggestions from the LRTweetup community. The general requirements are
- We have seen your face at least once at an LRTweetup Event
- You are active within our online community. (Mainly I look for RSVPs to events and #LRTweetup tagged posts).
This is not some exclusive group but LRTweetup exists to connect people in the Central Arkansas Area online and offline. The requirements are not set in stone they are simply guidelines. I follow every single person on this list and they add a massive amount of value to my stream.
How can you be added to the list?
- Suggest to the List Creator – There are links in the sidebar on the LRTweetup list where you can additions or request removal. Simply submit the form and it will notify me.
- Reply to me – You can also make suggestions directly to me via Twitter. Click here and just modify the tweet for addition or removal. Make sure and reply to @tsudo
I’ve had some great feedback concerning these lists and its my desire to help you connect with other great people. If you’ve built a list make sure and share it in the comments.
