Several people have complained to me that they can’t find the search function in the new design layout and they’re having difficulty figuring out how to find people to follow on Twitter.  The solution is to use the directories that are spinging up – TwitDir or Twitterholic.

According to several blog posts conparing the two services, TwitDir is the most accurate and up to date. 

It’s a great tool.  Use it to find people, find who to follow and to see who’s writing about a person, topic or company. Add it to your listening and reputation management activities. It can help you find the influential voices on any given subject. And if you use it, make a donation.  I’d hate to see this site disappear one day, ike Tweetboard did..
