Hi Heidi, great post. I realised that I unknowingly & naturally followed most of your steps when I first started on Twitter too, and found them a great way to find likeminded people straight away.

Another way to find people interested in a specific topic is to use monitter.com. You can search using keywords & phrases as well as locations.

Oh, and I like your system for reading links – thanks for the hint!

Cheers,
