The few, the proud, the very lucky have started seeing Twitter Lists appear on http://www.twitter.com. The changes to Twitter’s web site are so rare, it is hard to say who cares? What is really exciting about Twitter Lists is that this is a strange social mash-up. Delicious and Dig meet FaceBook. Now you can organize your people and filter the noise. Keep your “friends” in one list, “family” in another and so on. Categorization of the information available to you on Twitter makes the site so much more useful. You can also make these lists public or private. I haven’t seen these showing up yet, so I think they are rolling this out very very slowly. This is probably a good thing since Twitter crashes all of the time anyway (does anybody else wonder what they are spending millions of dollars on if not infrastructure and engineers?).
Side note, @delloutlet now has over 1,300,000 followers. With 600,000 followers they attributed 3 million in sales to their Twitter account. I’d love to know if they paid to be a recommended follower on Twitter or if that is a present from Twitter to establish the value with a direct dollar equation. I have been saying all year that I think Dell will hit 10 million in sales in 2009 from Twitter, I am starting to think that number may be low, very low.
