Friends Or Follow is the first tool you requre to quickly find out who is following you, who are you following that are not following you back and who are following that you are not following. (Did that get you all looped up in tangles!).  Get it at http://friendorfollow.com

140it is a great tool I use to say more within the 140 characters that you are allowed in one message in twitter.  

Twubble is another friend finder and helps your twitter group.  It searches your friend graph picks out people you may like to follow.  It searches all your followers friends and suggsts people that you may follow.  

Lot of posts in twitter have urls.  Twiturls lists them in their site  Most tweeted links are counted listed in that order.  If you want to find out the buzz in twitter, this is a useful tool.


How do you connect to people with similar interests or expertise.  twellow.com could be the answere.  Twellow grabs the publicly available messages from the twitter.com and categorizes them.  You can now easily specific niches where you can find what you are looking for.  Try it out at twellow.com.
