Some high-profile Twitter accounts have been seeing astronomical jumps in the number of users subscribing to their profile updates -- tens of thousands of new followers, in some cases.
A feature launched last month, called "suggested users," contributed to the spike, explained Evan Williams, Twitter's co-founder and chief executive.
As part of the sign-up process, new users are now shown a sort-of featured personalities list that includes a wide variety of popular people and companies. Included are U.K. newspaper The Guardian's technology page, Web personality Felicia Day, TechCrunch, actor Rainn Wilson, computer maker Dell, grocer Whole Foods, the New York Times and CNN.
