Twitter Lists are rolling out today (although the feature is not quite turned on for everyone yet). The new feature lets users make lists of interesting people on Twitter, grouped together so that they are easy to follow.
But how do you find the best lists? Already, there is an independent directory service which is launching in tandem with Twitter Lists called Listorious. (Warning: it only fully works for people who have Twitter Lists enabled). Listorious offers a curated collection of lists across various categories such as media, humor, marketing, finance, and food. You can see the most popular lists, ranked by how many people follow them. It is also possible to search by tags, or just search lists in general.
So what are some lists you might want to check out? There’s Robert Scoble’s Most Influential In Tech list and another overlapping Tech Pundits list. I like this list of Venture Capitalists on Twitter. And of course, don’t miss out on following the entire TechCrunch Team with one click.
Listorious was developed by Gregory Galant, who is the man behind the Shorty Awards, which goes out to the “best producers of short content.” It is part of his company, Sawhorse Media.
good thing there’s no A-list…
Looks cool. I’ll have to come back once I get Lists.
twit for that
Within two months, this list thing is going to get so flooded that it will become irrelevant.
Here’s a list of Social Nerdia interviewees in tech, marketing and social media http://www.twit...rdia/interviews
My vote for best list: “dicks”
Not all that long, only Paul Carr is on it apparently.

I doubt I would search for lists in a directory. Just like anything else on Twitter, you discover best content through your friends/followers.
Searchable by tags? Whose tags? You can’t attach metadata to lists on Twitter.
So, again: Whose tags?
You do when you submit it
I like the twitter lists thing, except that some are excluded. I’d be interested to know the criteria for why.
Cool concept
Looking for a list that includes Michael Moore / political discussions & criticisms…is he on a twitter list?
Looks like part of the deal Twitter had with Google & Bing to organize the huge ‘jungle’ of tweets to return good search results.
We have a great List going for Follow Friday and Follow back users to help grow a network, fast!

Is there a way to include a reference to a Twitter list within a Tweet?
Just as @user was invented by the community I wonder if the same has to happen to a %list…
Cheers!

@user/list ?
This is a nice service..I got invited to partake in the beta a few days ago and so far I think it’s really useful and a good idea that doesn’t mess with the simplicity of Twitter.
Awesome.
Does anybody know what percentage of people currently have lists and when it will be available for everyone?
Nice to Hear this Eagerly waiting such kind of Features Who are in to the Social Media this happens with Twitter they will rock like any thing…Thanks for the Update…!
Over at Twibes tonight we just launched crowd-sourced Twitter lists you can join and sync to your Twitter account. Now that I’ve got an infrastructure for automating Twitter list building there’s all kinds of cool stuff we can do.
