You can now search for people on Twitter - again.
"The microblogging tool's re-launched people search. lets you query the service by username or first/last name to find other users," as per Mashable's Adam Ostrow. Twitter had this feature in the past; but earlier this year it was taken down for technical reason.
From Twitter Blog:Twitter is much more valuable when you can find the accounts of the people or organizations you care about-whether they're friends, news organizations, or the airline that will be taking to see your family over the holidays. You'll notice that our new name search is much faster, more relevant, and it even has a phonetic similarity algorithm which is basically fancy talk for spell check on names.
