How to use Twitter Lists to monitor topics of interest

Twitter lists is twitter’s version of groups

It’s similar to a group you might create on Tweetdeck or Seesmic, but there are several advantages to creating a list on twitter. The list feature allows you to organize the people you’re following on Twitter, or find new people to follow. When you look at the list you can get an overview of what those people are up to. So far that sounds like what Tweetdeck and Seesmic offer with their group feature, BUT the lists feature also allows you to add someone to your list that you aren’t following. So, for example, if you know someone who tweets a bit too often for your taste, but you’d still like to keep an eye on them, you can add them to a twitter list and then check up on them, without having to actually follow them.

head stone2 The Prognosis is In and for SplashCast it is Terminal In an earlier post about SplashCast I discussed the demise of the SplashCast service that I thought was their winner. They had a video hosting service that allowed you to create custom channels for your viewers. You could choose a list of not only your own videos but videos from other users. Their reasoning for abandoning this focus was monetization. They expressed dismay at not being able to figure out a way to make it profitable.

SplashCast is not only throwing in the towel they are heading for the cemetery.
