Breaking: Twitter told me not to tweet about Twitter Lists

October 29, 2009

New! Lists. A great way to organize the people you follow and discover new and interesting accounts. (BETA)

Lists are timelines you build yourself, consisting of friends, family, co-workers, sports teams, you name it. You’re part of a small group receiving this feature, so don’t tweet about it yet!

Sure twitter, I won’t tweet about the new Twitter Lists. I’ll just post it here. Enjoy the new feedback about the Twitter lists. So I created one, http://twitter.com/thefounder/adagency

So what do I do now? Evidently it’s treated as a separate sub-account? Exactly what did I just create?

If I can make subsets of my existing account, I can see how that can be used. Companies could have all sorts of subsets, such as the Dell examples below (no they don’t work, just showing an example).

twitter.com/dell/sales
twitter.com/dell/support
twitter.com/dell/enfatico — oh wait…

nifty.

    I think this is a super feature. Way more powerful than hashtags or followfriday.

    Imagine authoritative accounts creating exclusive lists. What will entry into one of those timelines be worth?

    I'd also like to send/receive messages to/from a List.
