Why We Follow: Read, Write, and Share Reviews of Twitter Users

Hello fellow PH'ers! After endlessly scrolling through my Twitter feed I realized that I honestly didn't even pay attention to many of the messages. The value I got from Twitter had been decreasing over time and I couldn't put my finger on why. Then it hit me. I was following way too many users and, on top of that, I couldn't remember WHY I even followed them. So being a maker I set out to build a way to solve this problem. This project started out selfishly as a place where I could personally notate WHY I followed a specific user (friends, something they shared, etc.) and right off the bat I began enjoying Twitter again. However after a few weeks of trimming down who I followed I realized there must be other Twitter users who have been running into the same problem. Enter Why We Follow. As you can probably tell from this post I'm not a salesperson so if I missed anything please don't hesitate to ask in the comments. Before I go I wanted to thank @marckohlbrugge for always pushing the "Just Ship" mindset. I had been working on this project for weeks and weeks trying to perfect it and then I took his advice and launched it to the world. And yes, I do remember and loved using @kevinrose's WeFollow.com before it got acquired and basically shutdown. I consider his project the very first Twitter user-powered directory, but was just missing a way to really find out why someone should follow a specific user.
