Listiti: Google Alerts for Twitter Lists

Source: Mashable!

Nov 05, 2009

Summary

Google Alerts, once the secret of savvy online marketers and social media experts, have become the de facto way for the masses to keep one eye always on the web.

While there have been attempts to apply the instant alerts concept to Twitter, we haven’t seen an application get the formula completely right yet. Perhaps we spoke to soon, as we just discovered Listiti, a new web-based application that promises to do one thing: send you email alerts whenever tweets from specific Twitter Lists match your specified query.

The Listiti implementation is both practical and genius. We’ve been talking about Twitter Lists as one of Twitter’s most important features, providing necessary context, and allowing for a variety of creative use cases. Listiti takes Twitter Lists one step further with an extra layer of convenience, so you can keep your eyes on the important tweets in Twitter Lists, without having to be on Twitter all day.
