Twitter lists and why you should find and subscribe to them.

 

Last week, Twitter released a feature that has changed how the service works for everyone.  The feature is called 'twitter lists'.  Twitter lists are curated lists of twitter users created by other twitter users.  The lists can be private or public. 

Public twitter lists is what I'll be referring to.  Public lists enable you to 'follow' everyone on the list without really subscribing.  When you 'follow' the list, it shows up on your twitter page it doesn't clog up your timeline.  You only see the list members twitter messages when you click on that list.

Here are a sampling of some public lists:

Photography oriented:

http://twitter.com/thetrudz/photographers
http://twitter.com/Heliopolis/photogs

Tech oriented:
http://twitter.com/tofer/tech
http://twitter.com/dregar/tech-people

Mandolin oriented

GLBT oriented

Entertainment oriented
http://twitter.com/HNatarajan/hollywood-entertainment
http://twitter.com/ccatto/entertainment
http://twitter.com/mcmvanbree/classicalmusic
http://twitter.com/MarkGhuneim/musicindustry

The website http://listorious.com/ provides a neat way to search for lists that match your interests.  

http://www.vobios.com/twitter-lists/ is a listing of the most popular lists out in the twitter sphere.

Using twitter lists enables anyone to get value from twitter without a lot of work.  It used to be quite a chore to find people to follow on twitter.  Not any more!

I guess I am using facebook much more than I am using twitter. I was kind of using twitter but it seems a little boring. Except "shit my dad says" and regretsy. Those two crack me up. My friends do not update theirs as often as they update their facebook.

@queenie - 

I hear you. I keep facebook mostly for people I've actually met. I have both people I've met and those I haven't as well as companies and news feeds in my twitter so it's updated 1000x more often. One is a garden hose and the other is a fire hose!

It's too overstimulating for me. I have a hard enough time sifting through what comes in the mail and at me through email and on the home page and my sites to add much more. Every time I try something new, something else suffers...

I think I've said it already but I tried Twitter for a few weeks and then went back to Facebook.

Well, you know, Biz Stone was one of the founders of Xanga. He was "Genius" on Xanga and, I believe, the inventor of the Bianca Conspiracy. He was also later a co-founder of Twitter. So I suppose a Xanga exodus to Twitter is an extension of his precedence.

I've never used Twitter but it's nice to know of these improvements and services, and I'm sure more will follow.

As you might remember, I tried Twitter for a while but I think I'm going to stick with Facebook for now - and the blog!
