A while ago Twitter introduced a new feature, lists. Lists is a way to mange your stream as well a way to show who you’re like. But is it way to exclude people as well? There’s been a lot of arguing about the Followfriday concept that it’s excluding people. And sure if you don’t get endorsed by your followers you will without a doubt feel that way, and I guess it’s the same way with lists. I was very excited in the beginning to use it and I also made a post about here at my blog. But now I’m not so sure anymore. I might do what one of my fellow bloggers here in Sweden done (Micco Grönholm), a weekly post with the best of Twitter instead. And it’s much more flattering (and humbling, thanks Micco!) to mentioned that way.
But let’s look at list from another angle now, the possibility to get the people/organizations/brands organised in a good way. And if you don’t want other people know who’s on your list you can make it a private one.
Of course it’s also a good way to leverage your own brand by adding influencers to your list, and it’s quite possible to get good results from it. For me its nice to have a list where I can go in and read only my friends updates and comment on them.
Next for Twitter sure would be threaded conversations, but I guess we will not see that as it’s already possible through out the magnitude of tools connected to Twitter. There are some excellent scripts you can install to Firefox (using Greasemonkey) that provides that.
