"There's something interesting in their matching algorithm, curious what it is. I've been on Twitter (@aeroG) over 3 years, and have grown all my following list organically, a bit at a time. Of the 35 people on my suggestions list, at least a third are people I used to follow, but had to trim to keep my tweet stream manageable (ie they are still interesting to me). One thing that's surprising (disappointing) is that there's not a SINGLE ONE of these 35 that I wasn't already aware of. I'm sure that's partly because I keep a much longer list of folks on my @AeroTweets account. Anyway, what really is interesting to me is Twitter did find one account of a close relative that I wasn't following. I do have several other relatives I follow on Twitter (and these are the accounts the list credits), but they are all near-dormant accounts, tweeting rarely if at all. I can't help but wonder if there's location information being used in the algorithm, even though I doubt any of us have that feature..." - Gordon Vaughan
