I was delighted when whofollowswhom.com came around, but I was a bit dismayed that there wasn’t a quck, easy way to get from a user’s twitter page to immediately finding out who our mutual followers are, etc. Since then, @janislanka has added the ability to directly link to his page, and thus is born the javascript bookmarklet. Simply put, drag the below link to your toolbar. If you’re logged in & you’re viewing someone else’s twitter page, hit the bookmark & you’re taken to whofollowswhom.com! Voila!

I’ve only tested this on osx/firefox, so if it doesn’t work for you, let me know! thanks
