The feedback I'm getting is: 1. Don't know how to use lists. 2. Clients don't support them yet. 3. Too busy building their own to subscribe.
Add me to all three points - Kirill Bolgarov
I set up a couple lists on Twitter, subscribed to a few more but mostly Tweetdeck doesn't support lists either making or checking or subscribing - WarLord
The overwhelming majority of lists have more people in them than subscribers. - Louis Gray
I'm using lists as more of an endorsement than anything - I just don't use the Twitter UI enough to use the lists for reading data. I also don't read every single post in my stream. That's what Facebook is for. - Jesse Stay
I use my own lists - it was a sorely needed feature - Michael Slattery from iPhone
Also subscribed to one of Robert's - congrats btw on becoming the king of lists - Michael Slattery from iPhone
@scobleizer Robert, you are dead on! FYI @Peoplebrowsr already supports lists (read-only, I think). - Alexandros Georgiadis
I use my lists as filters. Their primary use is for me. Others may find them useful, but that wasn't my purpose in assembling them. - empireofno from FreshFeed
I'm trying to slowly build lists. Its hard to find the time. I wish Twitter would let me search within my friends for keywords to help make the process faster. - Mary-Lynn
When I see someone write something interesting I add them to a list, simpels :D - Asgeir
I will subscribe to lists when they become more sophisticated and complete; that is, ones that are built around specific organizations (all off Google's official Twitter accounts, for example) or based on user statistics (Favstar is off to a good start with that). Otherwise, lists are just subjective categories that I can create best for myself. - Cloud
I'm just a little confused about lists. What benefit is there in actually following a list? Why can't I say bookmark one of Robert's lists and visit it directly? Seems to give me the same information. - Pavan
Lists are no different than the rest of Twitter - not without it's issues and used however you want to use it. I use them to track groups of friends, colleagues, categories. Some use them to unclutter their main stream. Use them however you want. - Damien Basile
Pavan: I think following a list will pay benefits in the future. Right now it just adds a link to that list on your home page. - Robert Scoble
I see many people have made lists and added me. I am not sure yet how i want to use them.. I have subscribed back about 22 out of 72+ lists that have followed me since I felt they would be interesting to follow. One day I will make my own! Want to be on it? lol - Amy Flynn
Too much info..twitter need to be simpler, faster, lighter. - N.G. Gordon - RadarSync
Robert, if I could subscribe to someone's curated list and then further edit my copy, now THAT would be powerful (think Yahoo! Pipes). Also, merging lists or breaking ones down into sub-categories could be interesting. - Cloud
I like @audioClouds ideas. A way to it would be to create private copies of public lists and take it from there. We also need an acceptable UI to manage lists - Alexandros Georgiadis
