That's a rather crappy solution. What if my mom puts me on a list that's "people who are just precious" and I decide that's embarrassing professionally? Now I have to call her to coax her into delisting me when she gets time. Or I can block my mom. Both solutions are kinda lame. Oh well, hopefully Twitter will add more nuanced solutions to this problem soon. - Daniel J. Pritchett

i thought twitter lists were like rooms here on friendfeed, but i guess it's more of a myfollowfriday type (hype?)...maybe they can tick lists as private by default, then users can make it public later...for now...i'm using lists as rooms like friendfeed - brainno722 (Peter)

Daniel: That does seem kinda crappy, doesn't it. However, the block/unblock has worked for me in this manner before. If somebody is following you, and you don't want them to, you can block then unblock them, and then they're no longer following you. Of course, you're not following them anymore, so you can then refollow them. I expect that lists might work the same way. When you block then unblock somebody, you'll not be on their lists any more. Of course, they also won't be following you anymore either, so that's kind of a problem. - Otto
