I think that one of the cool potential uses of Lists by small businesses surrounds the online instantiation of their recommendations of other people and businesses in their community. As long as it's kept authentic, it could be very powerful indeed.

I'm experimenting with lists myself. On the one hand it seems limiting to have to put people in groups but sometimes there is something to be gained from structure....

Web cliques and clubs and is filled with people every day are excluded. Always subjective list of the top bloggers and experts. Twitter itself is exclusionary when you think about it - which they adhere to the following people, or it is good for those who wish to follow, but is not allowed in the rest of their lives. I like lists as they give a peek at my other Tweeters likes and dislikes and I lost all the noise that one can not read Tweets allow.

Chris, you can't be serious.

You're not down with lists because people feel left out?

a) anyone complaining about feeling left out has issues that have nothing to do with technology

b) you've never been a part of a list and then proudly talked about it? (Top bloggers, top influentials, etc)?

Come on man.

Twitter lists are a no or a yes (there's no ranking within the list), and not something anyone has to look at unless they want to click through and check it out. It's opt-in to notice it, unlike a Follow Friday.There are variety of the technologies being seen in the Twitter and certain add-ons.

It's opt-in to notice it, unlike a Follow Friday.I am not following and follow them. I also look at list of people as I am really interested in and see who I am missing and I should be following.

Certainly you've been on other "Top" lists as well -- some of which you've likely mentioned or tweeted. Many, many people would probably love to be on those lists, but they're not included for whatever reason (which might make them feel left out, or unsuccessful.)

Thoughtful, link-rich and insightful post. I question whether others assigning us to lists causes us to "self censor" any more than we do already, living as we do in real-time, passing snippets of text, images and video from one to another.
This I do know to be true: As my followers grew from 6 to 60 to 600 to over 6000, I became more aware of the possibilities for mistakes, whether textual or factual, to reflect poorly upon my professional or personal life. Living so transparently in the public eye holds that possibility for all now.Do the labels of others now mean that we all have to conform to those boundaries? I'm not so sure.Increasingly, we define ourselves by what we talk about, who we connect to and what we consume. Like, say, CJR.

Or looked at another way, being included in someones public list could expose you to even more people and looking at other peoples lists could expose you to other great people to follow. But we're talking about exclusion. Should you be upset that not everyone that you follow follows you back? Same problem really, just a different format. All of this goes back to not being obsessed with the numbers. If I have done enough to peek your interest to put me on a list, God bless you and I thank you. If not, it's ok, I'll keep on keeping on. Get over the ego gratification, do what you do as best as you can and generally good things will follow.

I just tried the lists and I'm liking it. I only follow aroudn 700 people, and far less than that are actually active. So the lists allow me to group people. If I'm interested in reading about business, I have the social media list. If I want to laugh, I have some very funny people I follow. If I'm sewing on a quilt, I can check out what the quilters are doing. Just love it!

Take Facebook for example, I like that I can create multiple lists and segment my audience to make it easier to filter through people's content. This works well when I want to check in with say my "Clients" list to see what they're up to or when I want to check in with old "College Friends" or check in with people in my "People to Meet" list before a conference. Being able to filter through content in this way is great. What's great too is that people don't know that they belong to one list or another. Not that I'm trying to be cruel or deceitful or anything. List making just makes it easier for me to filter through content and that's a good thing.

Here though (on Twitter), I think it kinda sucks that lists are public for all to see because it excludes people and well, it does suck to feel left out. Like you, I'll use private lists this way no one feels left out. Then again, I don't have thousands upon thousands of followers so it's a little easier for me to filter through content...

Chris, this is a great post and points out some things that online relationships can be just as petty as real ones.

I started a list called "awesomesauce". I like that word. I started adding people I really liked to it. Probably most people that post here are on that list. But then I got to thinking "hmmm, person A is on this list, but their friend person B isn't because I just don't like person B, so is person A going to get all pissed off?".

So I just made the damn list private.

I can't wait until twitter list privacy breaks. Won't that be a fun day.

I'm neutral to the feature. Like anything new and disruptive in social media, there will be people to embrace it and support it and people to are hesitant and resistant. It will depend on the value people generally capture from it.

I do have a nagging feeling that it, too, will yet be another metric that will be gamed on Twitter. Though, not easily, it can still be gamed. Look at @mashable v. @barackobama to see what I mean.

Lists are merely another form of engagement, recommendation, respect and validation. Let's not inflate the impact of this too much. If you're a good person, you'll likely land on many people's lists. If you suck, you won't land on many people's lists.

Yeah, I'm not sure what I think about the lists. I can see where there could be value, but overall it seems to add even more confusion to an already too busy "playground".

I certainly agree that it can exclude many users and become another popularity contest (how many lists are you on?). Lists don't necessarily translate to influence, just as followers do not.

As I said on Twitter.... Twitter lists = noisy, uberfilter, narcissistic^2, streamlined, repetitive, notable...all in one. (IMHO)
