I was really impressed by the speed with which CoTweet and Brizzly incorporated Twitter Lists into their products. It’s going to be a continual footrace, with the Twitter app makers trying to stay just a bit ahead of the mothership.

I’m not in the Beta… but after @Critter said that there’s a built in way to “click to not see RTs from this user” I am already unhappy.

Seriously – if they keep “improving” the web functionality, they’ll improve themselves right out of their niche. First we have Lists so we don’t have to actually follow people, now we have a RT function that hamstrings the power of the RT.

Ick.

With this and Twitter Lists one of these days Twitter will be just as easy to use with all the cool features that Tweetdeck, Yoono and all the other applications have to offer.

Finally Twitter has started to roll out all these great new features. It will be interesting to see how folks plug into the api and use this and the reputation and influence that could be measured from Twitter lists to create a more meaningful metrics and monitoring platform.

I got lists as soon as they released it into beta. Looks like I am waiting on retweets. Great preview. Thanks Brian.
