Many Twitter users were surprised to see a box that appeared to offer suggestions of users who follow. These recommendations are based on the people who follow our “Twitter friends,” but we still do not add to the timeline, along with other factors. In other words, it works like recommendations friends / Facebook pages.

Find something positive that these recommendations deal with Facebook is that since Twitter is a social network where it matters most affinity of interests rather than other things (so far), the tendency is to recommend us follow Twitter people related to our interests. It is unlikely that we suggest to follow Askton Kutcher (for an example) only because most of our friends in the Real World does.

Of course we have the option to reject the suggestions if you want. Just press “X” next to each person recommended, and Twitter will not suggest it again. Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the feature itself, so if someone does not want to see the recommendations should reject all recommended twitter … one by one.
