Twitter Launches Connect Tab for iOS, Android

Product manager Ricardo Castro said in a blog post that the Connect tab—which begins rolling out Tuesday for iOS and Android users—provides recommendations based on accounts already followed by users, liked tweets, popular local accounts and world events, among other factors.

Twitter users can also automatically sync their address books with the application, receiving notifications if any of their contacts join the social network.

Finding new accounts to follow used to require jumping through a few hoops and a dash of luck.
