We’ve realized that not everyone knows the full power of the amazing Shizzow shouts search. We have a customized search that can be used to find people with certain characteristics, and we’ve focused on making it easy to find shouts from people who are similar to you (yes, you).
The tags are pre-populated with the tags from your profile, but you can also click the ‘+’ sign next to ‘tagged’ to get a custom search box where you can enter additional tags. You can find people in places with a specified distance from your current location. This is a great way to learn more about people on Shizzow with common interests who tend to hang out near you. As a bonus, most of these custom shout searches have RSS feeds associated with them.
Want to just find people with similar interests to follow?
We also have a great people search.
What you need to do
However, these searches work best when people remember to tag themselves! Take a look at your profile page now (yes, right now!), and think about whether or not your current tags reflect your interests. Do you have enough tags? Do you have the right tags? Did you add a single random tag when you originally created your profile before you knew how they were used?
You can add and remove tags at any time by going to Preferences -> tags from your Shizzow home page.
