Well, I’ve nothing to write here yet, though there’s quite a lot going on behind the scenes right now. You might be wondering what’s this all about. I’ll explain it in only a few words, okay? Take me for example. I’ve have around 20 new followers per day on Twitter. I really love to follow back, but I don’t follow back everyone, because I wouldn’t like spamish stuff going on in my Friends Timeline.

How do I decide? Well, honestly.. I open up my Inbox, browse through every profile of a new follower I get. I look at his bio, and I look at his 20 recent tweets. It takes me quite a long time to run through all 20 per day. And what about fridays? I can get around 30-50 on a friday, and that’s even more time-consuming.

So, I’ve decided to create a Twitter service, that would save you (and me) all that time. Tag clouds! You all know tag clouds, don’t you? So what if you had a tag cloud version of some tweep, generated from his latest 200-300 tweets? That’d be great wouldn’t it?

Anyway, there’s a lot more to this service than just a tag cloud of tweets. We’re currently pending API extension approval from Twitter to get 20,000 API calls per hour and testing an alpha (or beta) version of foller.me.

Have a good day.
