The micro-blogging website has introduced a new e-mail newsletter called 'people you may know', which offers suggestions for who to follow. The new format is considered to be a copy of LinkedIn's 'People You May Know' feature, which also suggests people who to be connected/follow on the professional networking site.

Twitter's refined widget is based on an improved algorithm and more personalised, and also takes into account of users' location. “This weekly email highlights a handful of people you may know who use Twitter. You can choose to follow any of the suggested people and you can find more people you may know on twitter.com. Suggestions are based on signals like who your friends follow and the contact information imported by people you know"
