Twitter Lists – 1st Insight?

by Rob Paterson

October 31, 2009 at 9:31 am · Filed under Emergence, Event Announcements, Twitter

What might be a outcome of Twitter Lists? I think it may be a step nearer to “Emergence” in some key areas.

This slide shows what happens to children’s language as they approach Emergence in the 3rd picture on the right.

I think our use of Twitter can track this trajectory. At first it was me and a few friends that I knew from my face to face or blogging life prior to Twitter.

Then in the last 3 years, I have added a few more friends from the Twitterverse. These in my case have come mainly from Pub Media and from the Bryant Park Gang that Morphed into the Planet Money Gang.

I exclude myself from the many who merely add thousands of folks indiscriminately. I have added several hundred of these but I find that only 1 or 2 have been people that I have learned to care about or interacted with in a good way. The Dunbar number is not a nice to have but a Rule!

What I have immediately seen from the new lists that are emerging around the two and related areas of my interest – the PM/BPP Gang and Pub Media – is that I have some real gaps. Those that created the lists whom I like care for and admire have people that I don’t know and who don’t know me.

But it is highly probable that we will get on – your friend is my friend!

So we move toward phase 3. When we get a critical mass of Trust – Affection – Attraction then don’t we get close to “Emergence” being possible?

Andy Carvin’s NPR News List would surely make an incredible starting point for more experiment – now add to it his Pub Camp list and you have the 300 Spartans!

This then is power.

A large, talented and also diverse group that has a large bond of trust.

Such a group can surely take on the “Persians” of our time?

Rob,

I agree, a List feature was a missing link. Twitter “out of the box” has been useful for connecting, but you’ve had to use tricks like hashtags to find your experts. Lists will make it a little easier to find like-minded people.

I’ve met more thought leaders on Twitter in the last 10 days than I have in the last 10 years. Lists should only broaden and accelerate that.

All we need now is the ability to tag someone’s profile, and we’ll be set.

Thanks for your focus on this, and getting the word out. Here’s to new “tipping points” ..
