EzineArticles / Twitter DirectoryIf you’re on Twitter long enough, you know that the way to get followed and discover new friends is to follow people that you find interesting.

You can now use our Twitter/EzineArticles directory to EzineArticles Expert Authors who twitter in *AND* write articles in any of the 586 niches that we serve.

Example: Want to find out which of the 4,200+ EzineArticles expert authors has written articles about Public Speaking?

  1. Go to Twitter.EzineArticles.com
  2. Select the CATEGORY link, Select WRITING & SPEAKING
  3. Select PUBLIC SPEAKING sub-category and you’ll get this Twitter list of Speaking experts to go discover.
  4. Follow any of them that you find interesting. If there’s a connection, they follow you back and you grow your Twitter follower base.


This new feature is still under heavy development but I wanted you to get access to it now and over the month of January, you’ll find it evolve quite a bit.

Getting it to this point took quite a bit of work. Making it faster, smarter and more valuable is going to take a whole lot more resources. :)

In the meantime, you can use it to drill in and find people on Twitter who write articles in the same categories/niches that you write in also.

Like it? How would you like to see us evolve it?

This is great and it’s easy to use. hooray, once again for ya’ll! twitter’s really coming, even if we don’t know where it’s GOING! As I tweeted yesterday, I can’t believe such a small percentage of people are sending posts to twitter from your site. who knows what will come of it? so why not do something so easy!

very grateful!

keep up the momentum. It is fascinating to watch how quickly private markets, i.e. ezine, respond at an increasing pace of relevance, while the country watches $750 billion bailout stalled and the price of the past 20 years of merge, consolidate and critical mass which has created “too big to fail”. Nice job to Ezines…Ezines and all the social websites may well play an important part of the nations reconnection to ethical relationships.

Very neatly done Chris, great job…

Useful we can sort under different options too, and each person displayed has both their twitter page and ezinearticles page as links…

Look forward to seeing this evolve…

This is a great idea but it does highlight the act that certain niche bloggers – myself included – fall between the cracks in the ezinearticles category listing.
My own field of expertise is primarily demolition, closely followed by construction; neither of which have their own categories.

Mark,

We’ll address the needs of “people like you” :) in 2009 as we’re calling that “phase 2″ of our plans.

All,

Don’t know if you noticed the big jump in speed that happened mid-day? We had a breakthrough and it significantly increased the speed of this project.

I love the list, but how is the list organized?

It would be great if the list could appear in alphabetical order, so I could search for specific individuals.

If it was alphabetical, perhaps with links at the top to names beginning with certain letters, I could skim through the list faster.

Great to see you moving forward.

Chris, just playing around with this a little, it’s great you can search by Primary Category then Secondary Category, but the results are a bit misleading, as only the Author’s total articles in ALL categories are shown, and that’s what they’re sorted by.

So for a few different categories I tried, (Self Imp > Happiness, Self Imp > Creativity, Self Imp > Positive Attitude., Self Imp> Spirtuality…) Jeff Herring always came out top, because his total no of articles is huge.

So someone as prolific as Jeff could write one article in dozens of different categories and always come out top, or very near the top of the listings.

I love Jeff’s stuff buy the way, he’s just a good example because each of the few categories I was interested in he came out top! Maybe he’s just EVEN smarter than I already knew he was!

Thanks,

Dan

1) We are going to change the categories into Alphabetical order as they are in no order at this time.

2) We already planned on only including the # of articles that the author has written in the specific category that you are viewing. The fact that it’s showing all of the authors articles in every category is a mistake on our part.

Thanks Christopher,
It’s quite interesting on Twitter cuz I get the best food for thought from it. But it’s been quite annoying sorting out the # of Articles, Authors, & Categories.
cheers!
