Foller.me is a Twitter service that can provide you with the most detailed information about a specific Twitter user in the least amount of time! Here’s how it works.

You input a Twitter name into the searchbox and hit enter. Foller.me gets access to the profile of that user via the Twitter API, scans all the public info and the latest 200 tweets! In general, you’d read those 200 messages to get to know what that specific user is all about, right?

Well you don’t have to! Foller.me has done that for you already, and provides you only with the most significant parts of those 200 tweets. It builds up three tag clouds: topics, #hashtags and @mentions, all based on the user’s recent activity, and excluding all stop words! Isn’t that great?

Recent topics are the words used most in a tweep’s timeline.

#hashtags perhaps are more significant to techies and geeks, most of them include hashtags when posting links. Wanna know what kind of links that techie posts? Take a look at the hashtags cloud!

Finally, @mentions are those people whom this tweep mentioned in the past 200 tweeps. Empty? Probably a robot.

With a few more upgrades we’ve reached out for two more sections – Followers Geography and Followers Rate.

The former scans through a profile’s followers and points them out on a Google Map, that way you can get a basic idea which countries do they interact with and of course you get to know when’s the best time to bug that person

The Followers Rate section is powered by the TwitterCounter Public API (thank you Boris!). It plots out the growth rate of followers for a specific profile throughout the last 28 days.

In conclusion, let’s say you’ve received 20 new followers today and you cannot decide whether to follow back or not. You do not have the time to read 200 tweets on each of them, right?

Your boss will fire you nevertheless you can’t just follow everyone, you’ll get unwanted tweets in your friends time line. Here’s the key: take one look at his Foller.me profile and you’re done!

And now, with the Sign in with Twitter functionality you can follow tweeps directly from Foller.me without having to go back to their twitter.com profile. This method is extremely safe and doesn’t even require your username or passwod (it uses the OAuth Twitter API).

Other examples. Wanna know what’s going on in the world right now? Read the news..? Watch TV..? Nah, take a look at CNN Breaking News or The New York Times profiles on Foller.me and back to work Latest Web 2.0 talk? Right over at Mashable’s Foller.me profile.
