Twitter Lists

Recently, Twitter released Lists… a capability that people have been asking for, for a while.

For example, I created a list of all the cool DFW people I follow:

http://twitter.com/gooberdlx/dallas-fort-worth

You can then follow that list.. or follow other people’s lists.

This begs for 2 questions:

  1. How will this change Follow Friday? I could easily see some Follow Friday list generator applications…

  2. How long is it before spammers find a unique way to take advantage of this tool.

Either way there is an opportunity for some more utilities and data goodies here :)

Still undetermined for me…

When you follow a list, does it send notification to everyone on the list? What about if new people are added to that list? What does following a list really mean?
