Twitter is testing a new feature that helps you figure out how you know — or if you want to follow — a given account. Similar to Facebook’s Mutual Friends feature, Twitter is exploring adding a “You Both Follow” box above the “Following” box so you can see all the people you and the other Twitter user both follow.

This new feature is a quick reference tool that shows deeper connections in the social media grid, and it’s a simple addition that makes Twitter seem less like a one-way communication tool and more like a robust, legitimate social network.

Do you think this is a useful feature for Twitter to implement?
