Find interesting Twitterers with Twintro
A new service launches today called Twintro, a Twitter bot that retweets one interesting person’s updates each day.
The idea is simple: find new and interesting people and decide if you want to follow them. This is the first “Twitter discovery” app that I’ve seen, and I’m interested to see if this idea evolves.
Today’s featured user is Nick Douglas. All you have to do to subscribe is follow Twintro on Twitter.
Twintro was thought up by former CNETer Robert Balousek, who now works at Digg. He will be the grand decider of who gets featured on the site, but you can help him out by suggesting interesting people. It might be cool if Twintro remembers who it follows, so you could have a digest of the most interesting Twitter users, but the site will just feature one person’s content per day.
Will you follow Twintro?
