Twollo – Long Tail Twitter Search

Twollo.com is the new Twitter application knocked together in super quick time by my mate Paul Kinlan, and even though it’s written with Google App Engine ( blech! ) it’s a cracking little solution.

A simple twist on the Twitter search, it auto follows people that match your search terms and is remarkably good at finding cool people. It works best with targeted search terms, searching for ‘Internet’ is asking for trouble! I searched for JQuery and it instantly found me 40 fellow JQuery fans all happy to chat and offer advice.

It’s way better than Mr Tweet, as that only serves up super high profile tweeters like Scoble et al. Twollo really digs out long-tail users that are better matched to your interests. A great service that is only going to improve and offers functionality that Twitter itself is sadly missing.
