Twitter Brings Back People Search

Want to find a person by name on Twitter (again)? Well, now you can (again). Twitter has brought back the ability to search for a person by name.

Once you're signed in, look for the "Find People" link on the navigation bar on the top right hand corner.

Twitter says the search is faster than the original version and that it now boasts a "phonetic similarity algorithm" which helps you find names for possibly misspelled words.
