WeFollow launched - user generated directory

Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, has just launched a WeFollow.

All this talk of searchable twitters, hashtags, and nicely packaged 140 character messages has led me to think about how all this information is starting to be structured and searching can be really powerful. If people stick to some conventions, or are made to, then we could be let to some kind of "semantic web" of information.

If we can just get the normal web (internet) to follow suit then we're talking real power. However maybe limiting people to 140 characters is a better place for information - it means all the waffle is left out. An intelligent search of twitters could very soon be a better place to find information than a web search.
