Categorization is a definite challenge, especially if they are trying to parse it from the rather sparse Twitter profile data. Steve may be right that almost anyone could be miscellaneous – but I’m not sure that makes the directory concept effective. I’d love to find interesting people in certain subject areas – and while I can ask a group of people I know for recommendations, that can be a little bit of a closed loop.

But as Shel rightly points out, they need a little work…

Under “bloggers,” they have listed 88. More are generic than people. I could identify only 7 of the people. I think this is a very good idea, but it needs work.

…a little more unruly because people can edit it but it often provides a little more detail about individuals – but not as many categories.

They could have a people category…

Everything is miscellaneous.
