Us on Twitter listsIf you’re still scratching your head on how to use Twitter lists you will be pleased to hear that Twitter has updated the feature and made it a bit easier to use.

Twitter lists sprung on the scene with a big fanfare a couple of weeks ago and we covered the announcement here on the Tweasier blog.

Twitter lists basically help you group followers by topics and share those groups. If you want to monitor keywords in Twitter lists check out Listiti – we covered that on the blog recently too.

The amazing (joking) new feature allows you to add a description of the list up to 100 characters or less. OK it’s not the biggest news in the world but it will help you to select which list is actually worth a look.

The Tweasier team are currently listed on six Twitter lists but please feel free to add us to one of your lists or share your favourites on this post – the more the merrier.

Monitor lists for keywords – a useful Twitter tool

Posted: November 16th, 2009 | Author: Chris Norton | Filed under: Twitter lists | Tags: , , | No Comments »

Listiticlip_image001 is a new Twitter tool which describes itself as Google alerts meets Twitter lists.

Basically, this automated system alerts you whenever one of your selected keyword appears in a Twitter list of your choice.

It’s a free tool (although they accept donations) and also appears to have an iPhone app, I think this could be really useful if like me you need to monitor what is being said about a certain topic.

The service only currently offers hourly updates which I think could be a bit limited because Twitter is so instant and about now but I am sure the guys will be looking to add more instant updates soon.

You can follow them here.
