In Twitter there are a number of ways of finding people and of having them find you. First, there is the whole following dance, which will follow shortly. The second is through keywords, which are called hashtags (#) on Twitter. The use of hashtags is a fundamental formatting thing (one of the things I am going to write about in my Twitter usage guidelines.
But for now ... after the message of your tweet you should put a number of keywords in that Tweet. These keywords are formatted so they read, #keyword, or #marketing, or #landscapephotography (Tweeter only reads the first word after the #, so two or more word keywords have to be compressed) or #Hypnosis or ... well, you get the idea.
Twitter then takes all the hashtagged words and compiles a list of them. You can look up everyone who is tweeting about marketing or hypnosis or anyone of more interest to you, like everybody who has used a hashtag in your client demographic (we have to talk about client demographis one day soon).
