Twitter has introduced the "Suggestions for You" feature, which suggests a list of people that users could follow on the microblogging site.

In a blog post on its website, Twitter said, "The algorithms in this feature, built by our user relevance team, suggest people you don't currently follow that you may find interesting. The suggestions are based on several factors, including people you follow and the people they follow. You'll see these suggestions on Twitter.com and the Find People section."

When users view an account, they will also be shown suggestions for other, similar accounts they could follow on Twitter.

The new feature is similar to Facebook's "Friend Suggestions," which reads the user's information to recommend people they can befriend on the social networking site.
