If you are at all familiar with Twitter, you know that finding friends and family is not the easiest task.  Twitter is notorious for gathering minuscule data from its users, thus making the quest of Tweeple-seeking frustrating. There are many ways you can hunt down those long lost Tweeple, but below you’ll find a few of our favorite tracking methods.

1. Twitter people search – Due to the mini-bios attached to the infamous mini-blog profiles, sniffing out your best buds will be an arduous act.  However, we believe that the Twitter people search would be the first step to find someone.  Just click on “Find People” in your Twitter profile navigation and search by entering a person’s first and last name. This will reveal a list of users with the appropriate info.
2. Tweepz – Keep in mind that not all Twitter users will disclose their full name, so this task will be trying.  But don’t lose hope!  Tweepz to the rescue!  This third-party site enables you to search more than just the name of your wayward Tweeple.  Tweepz empowers you to refine your search with more detailed info, such as location and personal bio description.
3. Twellow – Will you enter the Twellowhood?  Grab your precious friends through this robust database. Boasting almost 6 million users in the Twellow index, your Tweeple search will now envelop entire profiles, including preferred hobby and occupation categories, as opposed to the bios alone.
4. WeFollow – #thumbsup to the creators of WeFollow.   This Twitter directory organizes users based on their self-description.  How can you be a part of our fellow Tweeple in WeFollow?  Simply tweet @wefollow with three description of yourself using what the Twitterverse has titled a #hashtag.

Now go enjoy your Tweeple reconnaissance.  Search high and low.  If your exploration is unsuccessful, check out these other cool applications.
