Twitter Lists have to be the hottest addition to twitter yet. This entry is part shout out, and part informational. The shout out goes to Liz Pullen, a sociologist/ethnographer, who recently guest starred on Mashable covering Twitter Lists. Her entry titled “Twitter Lists: Frequently Asked Questions and Strategies” is simply brilliant. Liz not only calls out questions about Twitter Lists that you didn’t even know you had yet, but then addresses the questions with detailed strategies on how to approach & execute on the answers.
We’ve taken Liz’s advice on at least one question “Okay, I’ve spent a lot of time creating what I think is THE ultimate list! How can I show it off?” The strategy: Submit it to list directories like Listorious and suggest a follow on #followfriday. We’ve submitted the Freesource Twitter List and already had one of our Freesources pick up on the list and follow along.
The informational portion is this…Twitter Lists are largely an organization feature – but they are also a very strategic one. The use cases, and uses, for Twitter lists are undoubtedly a huge value-add for Twitter and the end user. The strategy for using this enhancement is not going to be the same for everyone and will evolve in time (probably even in the coming weeks). For me, Twitter lists have created a HUGE convenience – now I can keep track of all our Freesources with ease!
If you’re interested in hearing more from Liz Pullen, she can be followed on Twitter @nwjerseyliz and on her blog Spiral Srcatch.
Thanks for reading, and happy listing!
