How can I discover new Twitterers to follow and conversations in which to participate?
I am a newbie who is trying to figure Twitter out. I'd like to use Twitter to discover new people to "follow" and find conversations in which I can participate. I am looking for help in that regard. Any advice? P.S. I tried using blocks, but that did not seem to work.

Hi Merlion,
Welcome to Twitter. Others on this forum can probably help you out too. But here are a few ways (among lots and lots) to find interesting people
1. You can always look at the public timeline to find interesting people http://twitter.com/public_timeline
2. You can search for keywords, e.g. "basketball", "volleyball" on Twitter.com. But currently Twitter has turned off this search functionality. But you can use this 3rd party tool and search for interesting phrases http://terraminds.com/twitter/
3. Over here, you can find lots of mashups and using any of them will reveal interesting people who you can follow

Hope this helps and enjoy Twitter,
Thomas

Inappropriate?This is a great introduction to what you can do with Twitter. Thanks. -
Inappropriate?Terraminds.com/twitter seems to be dead. I wonder, is there a mirror? This sounds like (it used to be) a useful utility. -
Inappropriate?Ryan,
Yeah, others have talked about Terraminds.com down this morning as well.
Another service that you can try is
