It didn’t take long for someone to create it.
Not long after Twitter announced it was opening the doors for everyone to have access to the list system, someone created a directory for lists. And perhaps this is the biggest help people will find to showing what lists are popular and which ones they should follow. Here’s how it works:
If you have a list that you want to share and help people find, then you can add that to the Listorious database. So if you’ve amassed a Twitter list of people you know are masters of the Rubik cube, for example, then you can include that simply by adding it to the website. If you aren’t submitting a list, then perhaps you might be more interested in finding a list of Twitter users who fall in a certain category? Perhaps a list of influencers in a particular industry? Listorious allows you to search in a variety of categories: people’s names, list name or a particular tag.
Listorious will let any business user who might be trying to reach out to influencers and personalities take their search up to the next level. It might be interesting to find the diamond in the rough when it comes to your search -when I’ve been searching for online video influencers, for example, I already had the usual suspects such as Robert Scoble, Veronica Belmont, Cali Lewis, etc., but I did find some other interesting people on a video list that I might not have been able to find otherwise.
This tool is probably pretty good to help do some research on a particular brand or individual to see how many lists they may be on. Yes, you can obviously go to their respective Twitter pages, but having that particular list added to Listorious seems to add a hint more credibility to show how many other folks are following it – perhaps showing some significance? Maybe this service is an Twitter version of AllTop as well? From the get-go, you’re able to see a litany of lists on the website segmented by category, including: news lists, art, sports, food, celebrities, politics, health, humor, charity and finance.
Twitter lists seems to have such far-reaching implications, beyond simply organizing your own followings. In fact, it’s able to allow you to track those whom you think are all talking a similar point or have a common interest. For me, I attend a lot of conferences and I’d love to follow some of those people who are also attending to get their thoughts on the sessions. If someone creates a Twitter list of those going, then perhaps I’ll be more inclined to follow it back once I find it on Listorious and then will be kept abreast on what people are tweeting – then perhaps will get the most out of the event. And it doesn’t have to be conferences either. It could be any major event, such as an election or sporting event or perhaps unfortunately, a disaster.
In all aspects of its functionality, Listorious gives users a directory of pundits, regardless of the event or topic…and you’re going to be able to find it easily through this website.
