twittersheep

Twittersheep is a neat tool that allows you to create a tag cloud from the ‘bios’ of your Twitter followers. Why is this interesting? Because it gives you an instant snapshot of the type of people that you are following you. It’s handy because you don’t have the time to click through on every single profile to check the bio, an impossible task when you have a few hundred/thousand followers.

Twitter visualization tools like this give you a rough overview of your audience’s interests and might be useful, particularly if you’re using it to converse/network with others. Twittersheep requires your password to get the bios and they claim to never store it. But feel free to change your password after using it, if you’re paranoid about it.

Here’s an example of my Twitter flock:
