The main page shows you all the categories, which then have sub categories as well. You just click on a category and the list of people in that area are displayed.You don’t have to be registered with Twellow to be displayed, but at the time of writing there were nearly two million people showing on the site, so you will have plenty to choose from. By all means though, register yourself and set up a profile so others can find you.
When you click on a category, Twellow displays a list of people in that category and they are ordered by the number of followers they have. If you are already logged into Twitter via the web, (not Tweetdeck), you will be able to follow people directly from the screens where the profiles are displayed.

Now that you’re all set up, let’s get into some advanced Tweeting tips and applications that can really power your Twitter usage up.
Twitter Backgrounds
We discussed earlier about setting up your Twitter background so that it didn’t just look like the default Twitter page. Leaving it like that shows a lack of care on your part. You need to distinguish yourself from the crowd and that attracts more followers, or at the very least impresses people with your professionalism.
Now if you’re a bit of a Photoshop whiz, then you can do your own background, full of bells and whistles and load it up to your Twitter profile. But if you’re not, or you just want to save time, then there are some sites out there that will do them for you automagically. To find these sites, the best thing to do is to simply Google twitter backgrounds and you will find quite a few sites offering this service for free.
My personal favorite is Twitbacs at
However, that said, if you want to do your own fiddling in Photoshop, you can get some great layouts in PSD format from
