Twitter Launches Follow Feature

Who should you follow? Twitter has the answer. The company introduced Friday, Suggestions For You, which recommends people you should follow, and began rolling it out during the weekend as the service went down briefly for a scheduled maintenance.

The algorithms in the feature, built by our user relevance team suggest people you don’t currently follow that you may find interesting, explains a post on the company's blog. The suggestions are based people you follow and the people they follow. You'll see these suggestions on Twitter.com and the Find People section. If you like a suggestion, click "follow"; if you don't, click "hide," and Twitter will try not to suggest that user again.
