Really I think they should be more like google+ circles (I don't like much about g+, but I do think that particular idea is well suited to twitter). They should be part of the home page presentation, allowing you to filter your main view down by list. Personally, almost all the time I look on twitter I'm looking at a list. Either the one that's basically "these are the people I want to see all the tweets of" or topical ones (politics, infosec, etc). I spend very little time on the 'firehose' main feed.

Yeah, I actually like that a lot. I was thinking of something along the same lines. Do you think it would be cool if there was a way for people to choose which lists to post their tweets to? Like, I follow some people who do research on type theory and I love their insights, but I really don't care what they've had for lunch, or if they find some cat picture funny. So maybe if there was a way for them to tag things in such a way that when I filter by "type theory" I only see their posts related to type theory and nothing else. I like the idea in general, but my fear that it might be a bit too complicated for a lot of people? I think it's important to have a really simple and intuitive user interface, and something like that could just overcomplicate things. I don't know, what do you think?
