The El Show Episode 13 – Do Twitter Lists Matter?
Warning: There’s significant profanity in this podcast.
On episode 13, we discussed Twitter and its new Lists feature. Because there’s a lot of conjecture about the new Twitter Lists feature, Richard and I put on our professional hats and broke it down. Then we asked, why are we so obsessed with Twitter. We also had Google chatter. Here’s a breakdown:
- First we started with the Twitter List basics.
- The Chris Brogan view that lists are exclusionary versus the Robert Scoble view that they are expertise oriented
- Twitter and its influence, do all of these lists and followers mean anything?
- The top twenty most listed Tweeple: Competition versus substance, and how Twitter Lists should not impact PR people
- Richard talked about the upcoming Google book “The End of the World As We Know It“
- Then Geoff talked about the impending Google Android vs. iPhone war

They don’t matter. Both Chris Brogan and Robert Scoble are wrong. They are both projecting how they might view and use lists while other people might use them differently. In fact, the only place they seem to matter is for anyone who ever developed some influence algorithm. Lists must be a nightmare for them.
Anyway, as I said elsewhere, lists don’t make people influential; only actions and thoughts do.
Love the sum up. I’ll certainly include it when I get around to writing about lists.
All my best,
Rich
