And yet, as Paul Graham’s web 2.0 article showed, it is possible to extract value even out of apparently meaningless buzzwords. “Real-tim (Read More)

: Lists act like a filter. When you filter content; break it into chunks, it's easier to digest. In each list I make I see some of the quieter Twitterers that I follow that I had perhaps forgotten about - even though I am a huge TweetDeck fan I don't sit with it open reading everything from all the people I follow all day of course, so things go by that I don't see.
Lists help me to see some of these Tweets at a glance, as in each list more people 'float to the top' like cream.
: Lists as your own content filter is a great idea, and why I am probably going to focus on private lists for my twitter account. The lists that TweetDeck and Brizzly have are probably most used in this way. I am sure there are other good uses of lists that I am missing as well.
