So take a look at Listorious and start discovering new and exciting twitter users.

Create Lists

I’ve started to create a list or two and have been doing research into finding the best tweeps.    A good place to start would be seeing how others are using lists.  Robert Scoble is doing an incredible job…..but didn’t offer any clues on his techniques:

My suggestion would be to start by categorizing the people you already are following.  Chances are you are already following a bunch of people in a specific niche.

List Your Colleagues

Work for a startup or brand that uses twitter?  Put your colleagues into a list (if they won’t mind).

Visit WeFollow

WeFollow is a great directory of Tweeps and recently got much better when they started using a better ranking algorithm.  Use keyword search to find tweeps.

These are my ideas – how are you using Twitter lists?

btw. How soon before we see lists of the best lists?
