Hi, this is my weekend project.

I love Twitter but it took lot of time for me to build a relevant follow list. In my opinion, Twitter's search functionality for finding accounts is not effective.

It has 2 main problems

1) It doesn’t allow you to filter out spammy, unoriginal and verbose with all hashtags accounts to get to people that matter 2) It has limited ability to find relevant accounts which don’t mention your search keywords in Bio or anywhere

TwitterSherpa.com is a small side project for helping you discover genuine thought leaders on Twitter for any topic. It goes beyond mere keyword searches and uses crowdsourced indicators to rank profiles for a given search. It also classifies accounts or People/Non-people.

Suggestions are super welcome. :)
This is great! As someone who leverages twitter to find early users for side projects, I'll definitely be using this.

One quick nit-picky ui detail - could you potentially make the name link to twitter and not just the username. Awesome work!

Hey, Thanks for your feedback. I got what you are saying for UI. I am fixing that at this moment :)
