Twitter lists

There's always time to discuss digital culture and the changes it wreaks.

Twitter lists

Postby Adam Powell » Tue Nov 03, 2009 3:39 pm

Some real utility here. Twitter was only meaningful if you carefully crafted your list of people to "follow" (I know, the jargon is insufferably twee) but last week Twitter introduced a feature allowing users to publish their lists. That means you can aggregate similar content sources, which turns out to be very useful.

I put these together:

http://twitter.com/madisonfood/madison-food
http://twitter.com/madisonfood/beer
http://twitter.com/madisonfood/wine

Anyone else making lists?

I'm slowly cobbling together some lists of producers of tasty eats, Madison restaurants worth following, librarians also worth following, and fellow food pontificators.

And "insufferably twee" would be if Twitter called it "fwending."

This one is well-conceived:

I made a new "local flavor" list, which includes a bunch of forons, various news outlets, area weirdos, police bulletins, haunted house reports, a gadfly or six, campus news, cabbies kvetching, Mayor Dave, some generally smart and funny locals, and no Ann Althouse:
