WeFollow.com: Kevin Rose creates Twitter Directory

Once upon a time, Kevin was not actually an asshole and would give credit to the people who did the work. Perhaps because of me, but more likely because of several years of advice from true assholes, he has risen to the occasion, and now says he "created" this site, when in fact I can 100% guarantee he paid others to do the actual work. Kevin couldn't write a line of code or build an html page to save his life.

The Internet used to be a nice place for nerds to hide. Every day, we're losing turf to this . . . this narcissists' playground; wefollow.com is further evidence of the decay. Even the once-hallowed niche of geekdom is being overrun by zero-sum games of self-perpetuating egomaniacs who are entirely too obsessed with this concept of having "followers".

It's a list of twitter users sorted by follower count.<p>Therefore it just reinforces the existing popular users and doesn't expose you to interesting and new people.<p>Stupid-wank-fest.

I refuse to participate in what I call "forced viral" schemes. I'm not going to spam my followers with essentially an advertisement for WeFollow just so I can join it.

Cool, but the effort is pretty capitalist, make the rich richer :), I rather read a blog that suggest a twitter user every week that doesn't have 2000+ followers :), or maybe list the users that are more suggested in #followfriday<p>btw, follow me at: <a href="http://twitter.com/i_tweet_only_with_my_friends" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/i_tweet_only_with_my_friends</a>

I really didn't like the concept from the moment I landed on the site. It's like adding to the stinky concept of 'twitter suggestions'. Both make the flow of twitter so unnatural. @barrackobama follower count is way natural than @britneyspears counter.

LOL there are some people listed as "celebrities" that are definitely NOT celebrities!

This reminds me of Guy Kawasaki's AllTop

currently, it doesn't seem to check back if your followers have increased.

Browsing tags, I wonder why porn hasn't invaded twitter

Holy smokes!<p>I had a similar idea around a year back - to create a directory with links to blogs and public pages of guys "who have done it" (internet celebs and entrepreneurs).<p>WeFollow is cool.
