Twitter just rolled out its list feature en masse a few days ago and of course that means everyone is talking twittering about it. Of course those who like to follow follower counts (the real game behind social media) are starting to see how many lists they are on, and some are already bragging about it. I'm sure the lobbying to get on lists will start soon. The whining that will occur when someone gets removed will be loud as well.
Others are starting to wonder what the point is on a couple of levels. I agree with those that believe we won't know what lists mean until the various Twitter clients pick them up as a feature. That race is apparently already on and the who got there first and who does it better stakes will be a fun spectator sport in the near future.
I don't agree with those who question the value of lists that no one is following or will follow. Seems to me the value of a list is in the eye of the list creator and not how many lists are followed, shared, mashed up, spewed out, etc... Yeah, I'm sure those who see Twitter as a tool for something beyond personal use will disagree, but then, what else is new.
But then things are still in their infancy with lists and like when Twitter first entered the scene, no one knows what it all will mean a few months from now.
