How to Use Twitter's Suggestions for Who to Follow
The Suggestions For You feature can help you by directly recommending new users to follow. Here are some places you may see these personalized suggestions on Twitter:
On your homepage (suggests people similar to those you already follow)
Beside another user’s profile page (suggests others like that person)
On your own profile page (suggests users like you)
How to find and use Suggestions For You:
Suggestions will appear in the right side details pane of your homepage and profile pages on Twitter, as shown at the bottom of this page. Following is an explanation of which types of suggestions show up where.
1. Suggestions on Your Homepage:
On your homepage, you should see a few recommendations of accounts we think you might find interesting. These are based on the types of accounts you’re already following and who those people follow.
Click “follow” if you like the recommendation and would like to start receiving the user’s Tweets.
Click the X if you would not like to follow them at this time, and our system will record that it should not recommend that person to you again.
2. Suggestions on Another User’s Profile Page:
If you’re interested in the user whose profile you're viewing, check out suggestions of others like that user.
Click the ‘Follow’ link to follow them.
If you're not interested, you can refresh the page for more suggestions.
3. Suggestions on your own profile page:
Our recommendations for users similar to you will appear just below the list of people you follow and your followers.
You can click the suggested usernames to follow them or find out more.
Note: How do I get Twitter to suggest me to other users?
Twitter's staff does not editorialize which users show up in Suggestions for you or similar accounts. Twitter search uses an algorithm that determines highly personalized suggestions based on the accounts you currently follow, the accounts followed by the users you have chosen to follow, and how other users express interest in Tweets made from these accounts. This should help you find the information you want to know (and some information that may surprise you) faster. If you're interested in Promoted Accounts, click here for more info.
