I love the simplicity of the idea. I find that I want to pull some tweets from others and this is the perfect tool for just that. Seth Godin should be more active on Twitter, but who am I to argue with his genius.

This is a great addition to squidoo and one which will add to our twitter options also.

Very cool. TwtterList is going to make writing up summaries of events using man on the street opinions from twitter that much easier. We'll start using this on our sports site to show the best tweets from people watching a Red Sox game or what have you. Top work Seth.

I've been thinking of adding similar functionality to http://www.everytweet.com - probably not to curate a list and freeze it, so much as to allow you to have a search term and then just watch the tweets fade in and out in a zen-like way. Or use it for a flat screen at a conference. (For instance, have it filter all tweets with #SXSW and have that running on the screens there.)

Many elements of stories are buried within Twitter. Tools like TwttrList can help "Twitter editors" choose order tweets to reveal those stories.
It would be better if you could embed the results on a blog.

Thanks, this is interesting and I'm going to check it out now. There are many times that I wish I had captured information as it flowed and then down the road it's hard to recapture. This will help :)

It's cool, but I agree with Steve... embed on your own site would be perfect. Still could have link backs to Squidoo, so everyone wins.
I guess you could always screenshot the results, though.

oh I'm so pleased! if twitter were a public company their shares would have rocketed in price with that disclosure :) and useful tool tip too!

For now, maybe screen shots will do for your own post. Great tool.

The problem with TwttrList, though, is that there doesn't seem to be any way of adding tweets that are more than a couple weeks old. Unless I'm missing something. Anyone know how to add older tweets?

Chris, I almost always agree with you - this is one time i have to say I don't. I think the idea is dumb - it's Squidoo re-purposed and it comes from the same man who never tweets. The kind of person that would use a service like this is the same kind of person that could build it themselves if they really wanted to compile lists of tweets. I'd have more respect for it if it came from Hubspot than from Seth. I think he's reaching here and his lack of participation on Twitter just makes me cringe.

My beef is that it doesn't do enough. Once you freeze a list, it's frozen. There's no RSS feed that you can use to repurpose it.
I was interested if for no other reason that it would be easy to create screen captures of "just" the Tweets I wanted, but it's just not useful enough to justify me giving Squidoo access to my account.

Super helpful. This is exactly what I needed when I was creating a post about Mike's Inbound Market Summit presentation last night. Time to update the post... gracias!

Great idea. Now if it were usable on something beyond Squidoo… or is it?

Thanks for the tip, Chris. I also like QuoteURL. It's what Craig Kanalley and crew use over at Breaking Tweets.

and useful tool tip too!
