I use Twitter lists often for research and to help new Twitter folks start finding people they might want to follow.

Liz Strauss in response to Listorious 1 year ago

I love my Twitter lists, and use them for all of my online research.

BL Ochman in response to Listorious 4 months ago

It's helpful to be able to search through lists of interest - like, for me, being able to search through the WordPress list is helpful

Lisa Sabin-Wilson in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Lists are the number one way to manage and find followers. I use them to mentor new people and follow high value SME's.

My list of course is great for #ehealth @cascadia/ehealth_leaders

Sherry Reynolds in response to Listorious 11 months ago

Twitter lists that I create are useful in terms of ease. If I'm at a conference I like the hashtag lists for that particular conference. Definitely a tool that I want to explore with more and would suggest that you do the same.

Martin Weinberg in response to Listorious 1 year ago

No. Twitter Lists have proven to be a non-event for my needs.

michael in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Twitter lists- yes! Especially for new users, they are incredibly useful for building up your network and subscribing to feeds that will provide you with value, insight and news.

For those who have used Twitter for a long time, they are are a great way to discover new thought leaders and inspiring new contacts.

Thunderbird in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Yes, I find them useful. The most useful lists that I have found are @ahier's healthcare list and @psweetman's NHS organisations list

Pauline Sweetman in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Yes: except I wish you guys would note that I am actually on 729 lists instead of the number you have, which is way less. Follow-worthy lists: Mashable's lists; Scobleizer's, all the top peeps.

Twitter lists have become powerful tools to better organize specific skill sets and shared information into groups (lists).

People and companies that have been listed on Teksquisite include 4 power lists:

http://twitter.com/#/list/teksquisite/forensics

http://twitter.com/#/list/teksquisite/security

http://twitter.com/#/list/teksquisite/women-in-tech-infosec

http://twitter.com/#/list/teksquisite/tech

The power lists generally have access and strong influence in their areas of expertise. I also use private lists to monitor the twitterverse in order to find profiles that could possibly become a valuable asset to add to a current list (or to create a new list).

I use public lists to collate and to better manage the people I follow. I currently follow 71 lists.

Some follow-worthy lists include:

Twitter lists can be useful if we focus on creating unique lists that give others some insight or access they did not have before, or cannot maintain themselves.

I suggest checking out the masters of wine list here as an example: http://twitter.com/thirstforwine/masters-of-wine

Robert McIntosh in response to Listorious 1 year ago

The Funniest Twitter users is always a good list to follow! http://listorious.com/Favstar/top-50-funny

Jonathon Hewitt in response to Listorious 1 year ago

absolutely! I use lists to enhance and make my experience better and more pertinent to what topics I am looking for info on!

Jessica Northey in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Yes but I am on too many 2.040 which means I cant follow them all back

Wayne Mansfield in response to Listorious 1 year ago

I really don't have time for lists.

Jeanette Joy Fisher in response to Listorious 1 year ago

yes

Iran Election ایران in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Twitter list are very useful for keeping up with the people and topics you want to hear about.

Cynthia Yildirim in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Yes, I use them all of the time to make sure I'm connecting with people based on their passion. It's also fascinating to see how people categorize your account!

Danielle Brigida in response to Listorious 5 months ago

Yes, Twitter lists are astoundingly useful for organizing communications. For instance, we're an entertainment industry resource, so being able to split people out by their niche in the industry really facilitates running down the most salient comments from thought leaders in pretty much every area.

ACTORSandCREW in response to Listorious 1 year ago

yes

Nick G. in response to Listorious 1 year ago

It's good to see who others find follow worthy like @lloydvincent/japan and @ShellTerrell/educator-pln

Brett Fyfield in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Twitter lists are GREAT! I think mashable has a good celeb list.

DJ Sam House in response to Listorious 1 year ago

I'm in a lot of lists but I haven't worked out how to make use of them yet.

Michele Brenton in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Twitter lists are a useful feature for accounts that follow many users. They help you cut out the noise and be selective. If you're not really into something, that doesn't mean you don't respect it, or follow people who are. That's where lists come in handy, as a filter. The opposite is true too, you could group accounts on the same topic into a list and closely follow what you are most interested in.

Gary Thomas in response to Listorious 1 year ago

It's even more useful because of apps like flipboard, that turn lists into living magazines.

Anthony De Rosa in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Absolutely. Twitter lists is how I tune to twitter to pay attention to certain topics or people I consider important. I have several public lists like @tsudo/news and @tsudo/politics that I use and share and then my private inner circle and outer circle lists are my gold mine. I credit @scobleizer for opening my mind to the potential of lists. I also follow @ARwx/wxexperts for Arkansas weather news.

Keith Crawford in response to Listorious 5 months ago

Lists are most useful to me for live events -- during the NHL playoffs last year, the Caps compiled a handy list of everyone tweeting in the press box.

Lindsay Applebaum in response to Listorious 1 year ago

That's why I came here - to discover them. There are so many amazing people on Twitter this is a good way to find the ones you are interested in.

Gabe O'Neill in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Lists in Twitter are like recommendations of who to follow. A user's brand is confirmed by the lists others put them into. By browsing through lists, it confirms those that have value to offer and should be followed.

Courtney Engle in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Yes, they are very useful when you want to read stuff quickly.

I recommend you to follow my list http://twitter.com/uberblogged/socialbiz for reading a lot of companies and brands doing their stuff in Social Media

Ursula Astondoa in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Absolutely. Love http://twitter.com/TheWhyFiles/recommended-by-you because it created by our fans!

The Why Files in response to Listorious 1 year ago

If you follow a lot of people and you need to get fresh insights on a topic - best to create a list that contains experts that will feed your mind.

Also, value comes from "who" curates a list too.

Examples:

Zeldman design list:

John C. Havens in response to Listorious 1 year ago

I suggest them actually 4 all new users who struggle w/ who they should follow-I certainly would pt. them 2 this one-http://twitter.com/#/list/Marc_Meyer/hashtagsocialmedia-hosts

Marc Meyer in response to Listorious 1 year ago

I am honored to be listed and to list all of the awesome friends on twitter!

Jessica de la Davies in response to Listorious 1 month ago

I love my twitter lists and people should follow New Zealand Businesses on Twitter here http://twitter.com/JustinFlitter/nzbiz-2 and here

http://twitter.com/JustinFlitter/nzbiz

Justin Flitter in response to Listorious 1 year ago

When I use to follow 1k+ people, lists were great. Now, I'm down to under 400 people. I had to clean out the closet.

Chase Roper in response to Listorious 8 months ago

Yes, I keep my own Lead Change Group list http://twitter.com/mikehenrysr/leadchange which has many people with an interest in leadership development.

Mike Henry Sr. in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Twitter lists can be great: I love all the TopTenTopTen lists.

Elizabeth Bushey in response to Listorious 1 year ago

I find them very useful for keeping track of people in certain industries or geographies. My favorite list is the one I complied, Social Media 40 OVER 40. It's a list of social media experts who are over 40 years of age -- I created it because I was sick of all the 40 under 40 lists.

Erik Deckers in response to Listorious 1 year ago

It's a great list management tool and whats greater than that are the new features and updates unlike other tools.

Rami Kantari in response to Listorious 1 year ago

I'm just starting to get into Twitter lists. Moving from Tweetdeck to web, I'm going to use them more.

Sparky Firepants in response to Listorious 1 year ago

australianmedia - 500 Australian journalists on Twitter

SilkCharm in response to Listorious 1 year ago

Yes although I am still working out how to best use them @foliosociety/book-lovers

Ned Hoste in response to Listorious 1 year ago

I love twitter lists! I use them like networking venues and cocktail parties. Sometimes my head feels like a nice art gallery stroll and sometimes a beer in a pub. Viewing and participating in different lists is no different than moving around to various social/networking gatherings from academic, to social to professional.

Janie Coffey in response to Listorious 1 year ago

The Twitter Lists are very interesting and useful. They help in with keeping up with friends, and family, as well as targeting, marketing, and promoting. It is a good idea to search and see which one is good for you as an individual and follow it, as each person will find a list that is more important to them and worthy of their follow.
