Buzzom Brings People Search in Twitter
| Manoj Jasra - Thursday, July 02, 2009 1 Comments |
Suddenly, no one is telling you “Don’t talk to strangers.” People are excited, more than ever, to connect with people located at the opposite of hemisphere and share their knowledge and interests. This has given rise to new global sentiment where people react to new incidents in unison. In this midst of connecting to new people, we have been welcoming all kinds of people in our network hoping that we find that one individual who is the possible customer or employer or friend or business partner.
Twitter, along with other few applications based on twitter, allows you to search people based on the name. But with user’s number increasing to millions, how do you suppose to find your choice. So, how do you make choices? Off course, user’s interest is the priority isn’t it? If you can enter the kind of people you are interested in than off-course it would be easier than following people in random. With these concern and need, Buzzom (http://www.buzzom.com) – a Twitter Account Management Tool – have come up with a feature to let you find people of your interest.
There are two ways to follow a targeted people in Buzzom:
- Cross Follow – Following the people who are followers or following of some third person.
- People Search – Following the people by entering a keyword which will match the people’s profile.
Cross Follow: Twitter is not only about people but is also about services, news, technology updates and celebrity updates and so on. Cross follow allows you to find the list of people who are following a particular Twitter ID. This lets you find people who are interested in similar subjects. Allowing me to follow people who are following, let’s say - @nwearth will allow me to have people in my network interested in environmental cause. This is very similar to going to a pub – dedicated to particular team - to watch a football; you know you are on the right side.
People Search: Finding people of your interest has never been so easy. How often have you myself spend time through going to profile and blogs to find the right people to connect and share. Well, now those times are slowly vanishing. Through people search you can type a key word to match to the profile of people allowing you to get a list of people who are more targeted to your user. Ways in which you can use People Search:
- Finding the relevant people related to particular technology.
- For hiring a people for particular field.
- Reaching out to the active groups.
- For marketing to targeted group of people with similar interest.
- For creating a segmented list of users to carry out survey and promotions.
- For making new friends of related interest.
These are only few ways in which you can use people search to extend your network.
What People Search is Not?
People search is not a way to find friends whom you already know. People search is not dependent upon your network but searches people beyond the reach of your network. Right now people search is independent of geographical locations but soon Buzzom will be implementing features to allow people to search based on locations and other criteria.
The Benefits of People Search
Will all the talks on how you can search people and get connected with them. Also how you can use them to your benefit. Let’s see the actual value it adds to your twitter account. As for today, there are many people following people randomly hoping to generate lead on their sales. As a result, people turn up spending 2 hrs times online without any turn back. Following itself is not the key to successful operation. It’s only one action which you can perform, if it’s not done with strategic plan then the loss is yours. Therefore, people search allows you to utilize that time and let you concentrate more on your strategies rather than wasting time following people which will add no value to your network.
