If you click on the “Find People” link in your Twitter profile, Twitter will want you to allow it to use your email account. Don’t. If you do so you will likely generate as much ill will as the few potential followers you might get. Technically you’re not, but people will take it that you are spamming them. At least that’s my take on it.

Twitter can interface with Gmail, Yahoo mail, AOL, Hotmail, and MSN mail. But again, I don’t think it is a good idea to let it, for the above reason. But there is a way you can send an individual email to people who you choose, by entering their email address into the box in the “invite by email” tab. So use the “invite by email” tab for friends you think might be or would want to be on Twitter.

So what else can a potential follower finder to do? Just use the “Find On Twitter” tab and just put your friends or contacts names into it. You’re bound to turn up someone you know. And you won’t be spamming them.

For grins Twitter also has a “Suggested Users” tab. When I clicked on it I got some rather large corporate Twitterers, and people like Britney Spears, Al Gore, and Lance Armstrong. Somehow I don’t think any of them are going to pay much attention to what I say.

And of course if you’re reading this, and interested in what I am, which is primarily internet marketing, social media and marketing, books of all sorts, and photography, you can start by following LowellRieger on Twitter.

Hey, if you’re reading this you already know me! So let me know when you follow me. Then check out who I follow and who follows me. You’re bound to find some interesting people to follow. And you are bound to get some who will follow you back.
