As you said, a downfall to making lists is that they will take a lot of time. But they seem to be a popular feature.

Well, yes. My “Politics” list is fairly general. As in, I’ve got some news people, lefties and lots of righties on it. But it is a sincere list–the people I pay attention to most.

I’ll probably create a technology list. It will be short and sweet but they are solid performers.

And then, I’ll have a list of people I like who fill in the gaps and round out my Twitter experience.

Those will take me a bit of time. But once done, no need for massive #FollowFriday tweets.

And when I do highlight someone, there will be good reasons.

But one thing I have noticed with Twitter lists is that some Twitterers are making multiple lists that have a lot of overlap – ex.: “Right Online” and “Politics.”

It will be interesting to see whether more specific lists like “Right Online” will be more popular than broader lists like “Politics.”
