Twitter Relaunches People Search
You can now search for people on Twitter – again.
"The microblogging tool's re-launched people search… lets you query the service by username or first/last name to find other users," according to Mashable's Adam Ostrow. Twitter had this feature in the past; but earlier this year it was taken down for technical reason.
From Twitter Blog:
Twitter is much more valuable when you can find the accounts of the people or organizations you care about-whether they're friends, news organizations, or the airline that will be taking to see your family over the holidays. You'll notice that our new name search is much faster, more relevant, and it even has a phonetic similarity algorithm which is basically fancy talk for spell check on names.

It’s useless. You still have to know some portion of their Twitter name.
thanks dost
Most of the people try to search friends or relatives by physically moving places spending much time and money. This search is made easy by the people search websites. We can get the information of people online by just sitting at home.
Good thing they brought this feature back. It’s pretty tough finding your friends by trying to guess their URLs.
