Recently, I told you about Twellow.com and gave you a tip on how to make sure your Twitter account was properly categorized in this new Twitter directory. Today, I’m here to tell you that there’s a new better way to handle this. Twellow has just released an Edit Listing feature, that allows you to add/edit/delete categories, as well as allowing you to make various other profile changes. Here’s how:

First, you’ll need to go to your user page (mine is at http://www.twellow.com/user/dazzlindonna, so substitute your username for mine). Then, click the Claim Your Profile link and enter your Twitter password.

Now, you’re able to edit your profile and categories. Notice that the instructions say “To add yourself to additional categories simply browse through Twellow and click the Add to category buttons found throughout the site next to the category names. You are limited to 10 categories in addition to any automatically determined by the system.” So, while you can verify the original categories, or delete categories from this page, you’ll need to add new categories from the site itself.

Once you’ve done this, you’ll see that you’ve verified your profile and can login and edit your changes at any time in the future.
