I keep lists on Twitter. Twitter is bad because you're limited to 140 characters, but it's good because everyone else is limited to 140 characters.

- Mz 11y agoWould you be willing to expand on your use of lists? I love twitter but also find it baffling.
- Nadya 11y agoYou should use lists to organize discussions around topics you are interested it. For example - I can create a list of lead-runners on Machine Learning and add the people I follow who are well-informed on the topic of Machine Learning to this list. Then when I view my Twitter Feed - I can choose to instead look at a feed from a list. If I want to get "What's Going On" in Machine Learning, I visit that list and see a feed from these leaders of Machine Learning. Do this for all of your interests and you can organize your feed to get a quick grasp of what's going on everywhere instead of being blasted by noise on your main feed.
- brlewis 11y agoI have a "Hacker News" list with Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Paul Buchheit, Sam Altman and maybe some others. I have another list of tech people I've met locally. I remove anybody who posts lots of noise. I check approximately once a day and I almost always see multiple interesting things.
