Conversationlist
So I briefly talked about Twitter lists a few days ago… and already there are some interesting things happening with them:
Listorious.com - the first obvious implementation after someone gives you data is a directory that is taggable and searchable.
Of course the huge thing is discovery… I created a DFW list that has 14 people following it and has over 135 people on it.
Conversationlist - this one popped up this morning reading @jonsteinberg’s tweet. It’s a tool that keeps track of who you talk about, the people that influence you. It constantly updates with people who you interact with on Twitter. Interesting!
In starting to think about this, there are immediate limitations that come up: it’s just a list of people. But when you break out of that mind block, you’ll see some more interesting ways to interact with this. News organizations and higher profile people are creating a “Must See” ecosystem of people. An example is Tim O’Reilly’s Government 2.0 list: http://twitter.com/timoreilly/gov20
At any rate, enough about Twitter lists…
By the way, my wife, Becca, finally joined Twitter: @BeccaKGood
