Twitority.com - Authority-based Twitter Search

A new service that deals with a very specific concern, what Twitority does is to let anybody carry out an authority-based search on Twitter. Of course, it is debatable whether the concept of “authority” gives a real indication of how influential a Twitter user is or not, but it can’t be denied that it gives at least some sort of indication on an Twitterer’s standing.

The actual quality of his posts is a different matter altogether, and it is something which can’t be gauged in a manner such as this one, for obvious reasons.



When it comes to the implementation of this service, all you have to do is furnish a query that reflects your interests in order to be presented with a set of results which can be filtered by relevance. This is done by choosing “any authority”, “a little authority” and “a lot of authority” from the provided drop down menu. Every user that comes up can there and then be followed, and you can send that person an immediate reply to his latest tweet (which is always the one displayed on the results' page).

At the end of the day, resources such as this one make for a more ordered experience in the Twitterverse by letting both new and seasoned users have some sort of idea about who are arousing the most attention and why. Pay it a visit at the provided address if you want to know what makes other users stand out from you when it comes to micro-blogging, and how to redress the situation.
