You might say we’ve developed a bit of a fascination with Twitter, what with all the coverage and launching our own Twitter people directory, Twellow. Now that even CNN’s talking about Twitter, we’re reminded we were once fascinated by another upstart before it went mainstream: Google.

Since Twitter launched, there was one question to rule them all: What’s the point? The point of Twitter is still debatable, but a few hundred thousand people funneled in anyway, people from all kinds of backgrounds and interests, people with all kinds of connections. Only one problem: To find people, you had to depend on luck, or at least stumbling through a maze of faces and followers with the hope of finding someone interesting or relevant.

It’s not often I get to walk down the hall to conduct an interview. That made chatting with Twellow lead developer Matthew Daines all the more convenient. Here’s what I got out of him.
 

Twellow, the first Twitter directory was launched today by WebProNews. Twellow currently indexes and categorizes over 300,000 Twitter users. Twellow.com is designed to assist you in finding real people who really matter.

The first reviews are positive …
