Apart from using the term “sheep”, which seems a little off (sheep follow blindly – people make their own choices), TwitterSheep is a pretty cool Twitter application that offers a visual cloud of someone’s followers. Simply type in a username and you’ll see a word cloud that’s generated by each follower’s profile.
There are obvious instant benefits to this – for example, what a new follower may talk about the most as well as what your own outreach is like.
Here’s mine. Who’s in your radar?

Quite a cool tool! I love the aesthetics of word clouds in addition to their meanings.
Danny – I have seen a few like that in the past, but it does give a lot of information, my "largest" words were teacher and technology. Teacher from my teaching days and technology because I am a "bit" of a geek. I will post them on my blog more for historical than informative reference.
Thanks for a relaxing moment to get me to look at what I have actually talk about on Twitter.

Looks like I talk to people about design and marketing the most with social media in a close third
Sounds about right as these are the people I follow the most.
Pretty cool tag cloud. Definitely helps things become more clear and could help if you're wanting to chat with a specific group but you're not seeing it big enough
As a twitter-neophyte my flock's about the size of the one that got decimated at the top of my track a couple of weeks ago (I'm no shepherd either, but my dog was tied up, honest guvner!).
Apart from loving the aesthetic of a tag cloud of words just like twiliteprincess, and it just being plane fun, I'm interested to see how I use twitter. Like learning about myself as I learn here both at the same time.
Intuition says I'm in the right place, now I get to learn why.
Thanks.
