Tweep Cloud of Vancouverites following at least 5 of 8 food truck accounts

In addition to organizing the people you follow with Formulists, you can also quickly (and easily) sort and filter through the people that anyone else is following or has following them.  This can be useful for anyone looking to nab some suggestions of who to follow and engage from friends, someone they admire or even competitors.  

As one example of how you can use this, Vancouver is starting to get all sorts of new food trucks. So for a newbie food truck (or even a veteran one) looking for Vancouver people to start following, engaging and turning into customers, it can be helpful to figure out which Vancouver people are already following the local competitors.  

A quick search in google led me to a few Twitter accounts of food trucks (or food truck related accounts) in Vancouver: @reupbbq, @DragonTruck, @offthetacowagon, @ComaFoodTruck, @StreetFoodApp (not a food truck but anyone following this account is likely interested in food trucks ;), @CartelTaco, @EatEli and @TheKaboomBox.  

Using Formulists “custom-lists” (under the ‘customize existing lists’ category) I can then add the followers of these eight accounts together and choose to make a list of any Vancouver people who are following at least five of these eight food truck accounts. The idea here is that if you are a Vancouverite following five food trucks on Twitter you’re probably someone that my little new food truck should get to know :). To make sure you keep only people that are following at least five out of the eight trucks, raise the number of “minimum list appearances” from its default value or 1 to 5.

Then filter for location (“Vancouver”), bio words (“foodie”, “blogger”) or number/ratio of followers:

Finally, if you make your list public, make sure you give it a friendly name and description:

Then, create your list!

Your list will appear right on your Twitter homepage for you to easily access and focus on the people on it, but you can also check out the list information and tweepcloud on Formulists.com to see how the people that made it on the list rank.  The “people in the list” tab and tweepcloud are both ways to see some of the top people worth focusing on in that list.  Specifically, people listed high on the “people in the list” tab, or bigger avatars in the Tweep Cloud, are people that are following all eight of the accounts and thus likely some of the bigger Vancouver food trucks fans.
