Twendly helps you find out who is tweeting about a certain topic on Twitter.

We all know that we can use Twitter’s (limited) search capability to search for a topic of interest on Twitter. We can use the #hashtags to keep up on a topic that we are interested or the topic that’s trending. But what if we wanted to find out just who is talking about the topic instead of the tweets on the topic itself?

The answer is Twendly. Twendly takes-in a keyword and let you know who is best at talking about that topic. The advantage of knowing who is talking about the topic is that you can follow the person and be updated with their tweets that would include the topic that you were initially interested in. It kind of gives you a nice way to find people on Twitter with the same interest on a topic as yours.

Twendly is a very simple service and so don’t expect complex steps to jump through. Simply type-in the keyword and you then get a list of people who are good at talking about that topic. You can then directly follow those people without jumping to a different app. It’s just that simple.

You can enter,

• a #hashtag
• a @handle
• any keyword of your interest, like mac, iphone, tennis etc.

The above picture gives you an idea of how you can leverage some of the supported search operators to get what you exactly want.

Search results are sorted based on relevancy and the number of tweets on the topic from the person.

Clicking on a search result will bring you a list of tweets related to the topic with so much extra information to give you an idea of how frequent the person is tweeting about that topic so you can make the right decision to follow the person or not.

You don’t need to sign-in to use the service. But you can optionally sign-in so Twendly can index you and the people you are following.

Overall, Twendly seems to be a useful service to to find out about people who are tweeting about a certain topic. Give it a try!
