Mashable - The Social Media Guide: BREAKING: Twitter Lists Are Live!

  • Dan Sherman · 1 month ago
    I love that you can see where they said not to tweet about it in your screen shot. Guess you didn't exactly do what they asked you not to do. They're not exactly live if only beta users can see them. Bravo.
  • Chris · 1 month ago
    Is there a page which lists all the different lists? Haha.
  • John Piercy · 1 month ago

  • j5_jhallgren · 1 month ago
    I got Lists active on my acct about an hour ago -- aready found & reported 2 bugs -- got tweet back from Twitter dev that they are known & will be fixed -- private lists don't show properly and counts are missing.
  • joebrooks · 1 month ago
    My favorite Twitter List bug/annoyance - you can't create a list called "favorites" :x
  • milandroid · 1 month ago
    ah? then i guess there must be a feature called "favorites" coming soon \o/ cheeeers!
  • Name · 1 month ago
    No, Twitter already HAS favourites. Individual tweets you "favourites" by clicking the yellow star show up on the twitter.com/username/favourites url, which is the same url "favourites" list would use. I'd guess that's why.
  • Aleja · 1 month ago
    When?? :(
  • jennifermilano · 1 month ago
    @KAYAK has the feature! So excited. I created some fun travel lists already. I can't wait to tweet about it!
  • Clemence Ko · 1 month ago
    I don't see it anywhere in my account. Do everyone get it or like some mention only for selected accounts?
  • paramendra · 1 month ago
    Sweet.
  • ghozali · 1 month ago
    Wow what a privilege to have it, but I did tweet about it so sorry twitter.
  • TwtrCoach · 1 month ago
    This is one small tweet for me... but a big tweet for Twitter Sphere.. :)

    Awesome...

    Cheers.. Are
  • milandroid · 1 month ago
    i just 'control+f'ed this page with keyword 'j' and i found in the replies, all the users who report they have had the feature has a username beginnin with letter 'j', though not all of 'j's necessarily have that feature.
    so, i decide to change my twitter name to jilandroid to see if it works hahaha :P
  • katiebug777 · 1 month ago
    i have it. my username starts with a K. @katiebug777 :)

    @SE7ENize
  • Shadowbat aka Scotty · 1 month ago
    Twitter lists. Great way to alienate all your OTHER follows.
  • Matt Rogowski · 1 month ago
    I tweeted about it.

    Sorry Twitter.

    I think it's a pretty cool feature though.
  • Inoperante · 1 month ago
    This I will buy. Liking it. Twitter are usually fast at pushing this stuff out to all, right? Be nice to start building these - and I might follow more people based on it too.
  • Dee · 1 month ago
    I'm so glad you explained this. Some of us are geek-less and were wondering what you were talking about. You know, I think I'll blog about the life of Geek-less Twits. Thanks for your infinite knowledge.
  • Rita · 1 month ago
    I was one of the lucky ones to get this feature first.
  • amiclare · 1 month ago
    I do not see it yet on my Twitter @amiclarecharlot
  • jorgeavilam · 1 month ago
    I just love that I can add somebody to my Twitter List without following him!, so it's like following without a follow!... Sweet!, bye bye @mashable :P, hehe, just kidding :P
  • Paul · 1 month ago
    I was really hoping to play with this, but I'm clearly not in the testing group. :o(
  • Kerry · 1 month ago
    Wow, I'm in love with twitter lists already. I'm getting a good laugh at how you've completely disregarded the, "Keep this on the DL," request. But hey, since I have it, I'm glad for the heads up.

    And for the commenter who conjectured availability may be based on the letter "J," mine is @wwks, so ... no J. Sorry.
  • eugmandel · 1 month ago
    There will be a whole new group of people who will be the power curators of lists.
    We at MustExist want to help them create, share and promote authoritative lists.

    When will the rest of us get to use twitter lists
  • dmgsouth · 1 month ago
    Twitter is not even working this morning Sunday October 18th 2009 10:45 am EDT. Over an hour for me in Houston.
  • matchnhire · 1 month ago
    Twitter website down??
  • Boynton · 1 month ago
    Snaptu was already doing something like this on their twitter client for the Blackberry
  • Sue Densmore · 1 month ago
    We were told not to tweet, but at the same time there was no way given to submit feedback! How the heck is that supposed to work?

    So I tweeted the question about where to post feedback. Think that counts as tweeting about lists? :)

  • techcrusader · 1 month ago

  • Hanna · 1 month ago
    I've had the lists feature for about a week now but can't tell what the implications will be until some of my followers get them, I guess.
  • joelheffner · 1 month ago
    Lists appeared (in one of my Twitter accounts) last night. An interesting way to organize things.
  • Tory Lynne · 1 month ago
    I got it! Very exciting....
  • The_jamie_dood · 1 month ago
    I Have Lists :P
  • Anthony Bynoe · 1 month ago
    I don't see them yet :(
  • brighteyesgirl · 1 month ago
    i have them, and was told not to tweet about them. i'm not a real big fan of them, personally.
  • Luis Mendoza · 1 month ago
    I got them!
  • Viv · 1 month ago
    I got Lists on my Twitter account too and I love the feature! I do wonder how they picked the people who got Lists already. And I may or may not have broken the no tweeting rule as well. Oops.
  • Viv · 1 month ago
    I just checked and I got Lists on two out of three Twitter accounts. May have just been lucky though.
  • starnott · 1 month ago
    sweet... I feel special... I'm not tweeting about it... just sayin is all
  • Anees Younis · 1 month ago
    I just logged on to Twitter via the web today rather than Tweetie 2 on my iPhone which is my preferred means of tweeting, to find that the Twitter lists (beta) is live for me, courtesy of the banner atop my timeline! I must say I think this is going to be huge for Twitter and it's user base as it promises be such a useful feature.

    However, I think that there definitely needs to be a few tweaks! Firstly I think that there needs to be a dedicated search place specifically to search for Twitter lists that I, as an individual, may be interested in. At the moment the only means of finding a Twitter list is through visiting a twitterer's profile page! From there you can then choose to follow one of their Twitter lists or even a Twitter list that they may be following. This needs to change to make it easier to discover Twitter lists of interest for particular users. This may be achieved through allowing the tagging of Twitter lists (maybe keeping the 140 character limit for tags also) and having a dedicated search space which will serve the purpose of returning Twitter lists specific to the tags. This will make the Twitter lists feature much more powerful and effective as it would be easier to find what you're looking for.

    Furthermore, it should be easier to combine Twitter lists i.e. I'm an Arsenal FC fan and I want to create my own Twitter list of Arsenal fans and I am already following a Twitter list of 100 strong Arsenal fans, I should be able to add all the members of that list to a new Twitter list seamlessly with the click of a button and add 50 more users to follow in that list to make a larger list, quicker.

    Oh and sorry Twitter for talking about this, but I'm too excited to just keep my mouth shut!
  • 9swords · 1 month ago
    I heart beta .
  • mommadona · 1 month ago
    Looks like a useful step in the right direction - kudos!
  • Cris · 1 month ago
    I have them since last night! I was so surprised! I wonder how they choose the accounts.
  • dannykpowell · 1 month ago
    I have this, came across it this morning and tweeted before I saw the "shhh" comment on the homepage.

    I have a worry about this- what if someone adds me to a list that I am not happy about- who wants to be on a list of "Annoying people" (or worse).

    They are requesting feedback on this currently so after I've had time for a proper play with the feature I'll be sending this concern in to twitter
  • renevranc · 1 month ago
    How to change the content of a list ? Its name?
  • sallyent · 1 month ago
    I could tell you if I have it, but then I'd have to kill you, obviously. How small is this small group anyway? Given the size of twitter and the number of people I know who have it, it can't actually be that small or secret surely! Isn't saying 'don't tell' exactly the way to spread the hype and thus snowball their PR?...
  • Katiebug777 · 1 month ago
    I have the lists. it's pretty cool. i want to tweet so bad, but i'm not going to. :/
  • Faye · 1 month ago
    I'm kinda confused (nothing new). I saw the box on my twitter page yesterday but didn't have time to do anything with it. Not it's not there and I see no "List" links anywhere. :(
  • Rosario · 1 month ago
    I got that message to the lists and I started making the lists and when a came back to keep working on them they were not there anymore, I don't know what happened. weird..
  • Daly Web Cartoons · 1 month ago
    How does Twitter Lists differ from Twellow? I thought Twellow was supposed to boost me but so far I'm yawning....will I keep yawning if I engage Twitter Lists? I mean, there are all these excess apps....but how does "lists" popularize you?
