Just the results

  • 2 mentions in ReadWriteWeb 
  • 2 mentions in TechCrunch (1 of which was for a gmail bug i was, rightly so,  first to report)
  • 3 mentions in TechMeme (although they took us down for some reason, but blogs are mentionning us)
  • 1 mention in Yahoo News, PC World, and Industry standard

I won't reveal the secret sauce. But what i will mention is that i just applied the old rule of hacking news by cracking a black box. This always works. and it's free

Which is always good when you don't have a dollar to spend on PR :)

First on Twitter, later on Facebook, then on linkedin

Since a user does not choose on which list he appears, i believe 2 very important features need to be created immediately

  • Opt out: if you are added on a list "Those guys are idiots" you definitely don't want to appear there right? (unless you really are an idiot)
  • Report Spam list: just like users, we should be able to report spam list (TheNextWeb nailed it already)
  • email notification: i want to know instantly to which list i have been added to (just like with a new follower), so i can use the first feature described above
Actually lists are just like users: you should be able to manage your relation with them if they harm you.

those are elementary and will arrive in the next 3 months max. If twitter does not make it, someone will

The new ego currency on Twitter is not going to be the number of followers, but the number of lists you are going to be featured on. This is a genius feature by Twitter (actually anticipated by a few startups and services that introduced them)

But the outcome if going to be massive. Lists will be a strong reputation management system and also a natural spam filter (if you re not on any list, then you have a problem...).For example here are the lists i am present in

However building lists on Twitter (like on Facebook btw) is painful. It is not designed for efficient creation. You need to go to each user page and add them 1 by 1, or to twitter.com/following and find the users you want to add (meaning sometimes scrolling lots of pages). Robert Scoble just confirmed me on a Tweet this is very time consuming 

I need a simple tool to build Twitter list. Maybe Twitter will build it. 

  • A web service (not a desktop client)
  • Twitter connect to identify me
  • My lists pre populated
  • A simple BIG + to add a new list
  • Auto complete user name, Enter, added to the list
  • Suggest users based on bio compared to name of the list
  • Synced with Twitter
  • Synced with Twitter clients that i will use
  • 1 click to unlist user or set of users
  • @bracco suggested an interesting idea: lists auto created with participants in events i attend (based on the registration list). good idea. but secondary for me.

I have been using this tool so far: Tlists (that i discovered via Chris Dixon a couple of weeks ago) but i need my list to be synced and ported to wherever i go (web, twitter client). I am even featured in one of them. Curiously it closed, probably preparing something new, since lists where propertary so far.

Someone is building this?
