Social Meteor: Follow your followers’ followers: Twitter croudsources suggestions

Finding the best conversation in a party line with more than 100 million users can be a struggle.

Until recently, your chances of being recommended by Twitter were rare and the rules for being added to Twitter’s suggested user list were vague.

When a new user signs up for Twitter, they’re presented with a list of about 20 “default” accounts to follow — which often included Dash for no apparent purpose.
