That’s right, this app Twitter gives Twitter a Facebookish relevance update, you know sort of like People You May Know, but less creepy. TwitsLikeMe will actually match you up with people who have the same interests, who tweet about the same things you do. Thus, you’ll be able to catch up on this light blogging craze and make friends while you’re at it. Check it out, you never know what more crazy Twitter apps may bring.

“TwitsLikeMe: Enter your Twitter screenname to find other twitterers who probably share your interests.”

This is definitely something Twitter has been lacking. While it’s not exactly a social network per se, it has practically become one, which means this TwitsLikeMe app is especially timely.
