It keeps popping up in your Twitter timeline, doesn't it.
There it is again!
What is this TwttrList thing?
It's a new Squidoo-powered Twitter utility for lensmasters and tweeters. It's a fun and quick way to organize a "best of" or top 10 list of your favorite tweets on a certain topic. Think of it as editing, archiving (and dare I whisper, monetizing?) Twitter.
But the best way to learn is to clap your eyeballs on a few great, pure, simple examples.
I like "The Best of #tangothursdays on Twitter" because this person is adding a human, curated and useful layer to the mess than can be hashtags on Twitter. Hashtags are a terrific way to track what's happening now on Twitter. But what happened before? How about a way to find and highlight the best of a certain topic? That's all TwttrList, baby. Bonus: This lens is also a good way to make #tangothursdays searchable and findable in search engines.
Here's another short and sweet example of how to use a TwttrList. DanceAdvantage is just organizing the best testimonial tweets from her followers. Not a bad idea for anyone promoting something on Twitter. Not bad at all.
A few more fun examples:

P.S. And just because sometimes it's fun to run a carnival, we're going to give away a Kindle for every 1,000dth TwittrList created. Up to the first 5,000 TwttrLists. Simple as that. Go ahead and be the early bird. More info here.
