Twitter Lists

October 20, 2009

Twitter is following the social lists trend and now offers Twitter Lists.  Read a summary of what Twitter Lists are and how to create lists & add items on The Next Web.

The nice thing about Twitter Lists is that libraries can create lists, following groups of local Tweeters, topical Tweeters, and more and put those Lists up to share on Twitter (and link to them from your website too!).  What better way for libraries to show that they know what Twitter is, and how to use it — not only to communicate “library proper” information to Twitter followers, but to show that we are information professionals with the ability to suss out information and sources in new technologies?  Here is my challenge to you: Make a Twitter List today and let your community know it’s there!
