    Is anyone else seeing this message below on their Twitter Account Page?

    New! Lists. A great way to organize the people you follow and discover new and interesting accounts. (BETA)

    Lists are timelines you build yourself, consisting of friends, family, co-workers, sports teams, you name it. You're part of a small group receiving this feature, so don't tweet about it yet!



    I have been using the new feature since last night, seems to add a new dimension to Twitter letting you arrange list's of Twitter accounts in demographic order!

    Any Thoughts?

    I saw this in my twitter account yesterday when I logged in. It makes twitter more and more like facebook - like facebook calls it groups, twitter calls it lists. May be you can send a broadcast mail to a list of people, or is it not possible? I havent had time to explore what its all about, but on first guess it seems to me like it is 'twitter groups'.

    The list feature is pretty cool! I have started using it and it's one of the best features of Twitter. :)

    I love the new list - it’s a great way to follow your interest! I Have built 13 lists so far - seems you can only have 500 per list - which I guess is a good thing

    Any more thoughts?

    Yep, Twitter Lists are great - I've been developing Twitter apps for a while and started working on my own branded version of them 3 months or so ago, so am a little upset that they beat me to release! But my templates do offer a lot more, including the ability to fully customize them (logo, backgrounds, color scheme etc) and fully interact as you would on Twitter. Check out twiiche.com if you're interested!

    I love this net feature! It's really handy and helps me keep track of some of my followers.

    I'm glad the twitter developers are actively updating their site.
