Today I am pleased to announce the launch of another small website -- PakTweeps.com, a directory of all Pakistanis on Twitter. The idea is to enable us Pakistanis find each other of specific interests on Twitter and connect with them. A lot of Pakistanis are now using Twitter, so a service like this can definitely help the newcomers connect with others easily.
How do you add yourself?
You simply click "Add Yourself To PakTweeps" button at the top right corner and follow the easy steps. You will need to tell us your home location (this can be anywhere in the world) and 3 tags that define you. For example, if you are a freelance developer from Karachi, then you enter Karachi as your city and your 3 tags can be: "Freelance", "Web Designer", "Graphic Designer".
Why should I tag myself correctly?
One of the beauty of our system is the ability to quickly find like-minded people. So it is important that you tag yourself correctly (as best as you can). This way others can find you easily and quickly under the appropriate categories.
What are these "recommendations"?
Ah, I am glad you asked! On PakTweeps, other fellow tweepers can add their two cents to your profile. This feature allows you to leave a recommendation for a fellow tweepers whom you might have gone school with or worked with or hired to get some work done. These can be total professional as well as personal recommendations.
What's next?
Now that you are done reading this blog post, go ahead and add yourself to the directory. It is easy to do takes less than a minute. If you do not have a twitter account please create one at www.twitter.com and join other fellow twitter users from Pakistan.
As always, we look forward to your opinions and suggestions on how to improve the site. This is just first iteration of our idea and I hope that you like what you see.
