Lets face it, The Twitter People Search feature was widely abused and the flip-side was pretty much the main way to find people.

Twitter officially announced that the People Search was disabled here.

So what are the Alternatives to Twitter People Search?

Address Book You can import your contacts from your e-mail here.  This is like most features on myspace, facebook and linkedin so should be familiar.

Twitter Search This technique is the eaves drop teach.  Go to here http://search.twitter.com/ and you can keyword search for particular things you want to focus on like location or interests and see who pops up on the public timeline.  This feature is sort of like the People Search feature but is very generic.

Follow your friends followers I think this is the most powerful of all options.  Surround yourself with success people and success will surely follow.  Follow your friends followers, this will shorten the gaps on networking and of course get you a good jump start. Who knows you might find someone you know and didn’t know they were on Twitter.

TwitDir http://twitdir.com has great stats and parameters but can be very laggy at times.  Use caution.

Twellow http://www.twellow.com/ I personally love this site.  Its super friendly and easy to use.  I use this most often to find people of similar interests because of the simple organization of the directories.

Just Tweet it http://justtweetit.com This is basically a add your own profile to this directory of Twitters.  I think this site has potential but really needs some sort of organization follow count, location etc.
