Twitter is quite simple in user interface, but is rather hard to give a sense to it. It doesn’t really feel useful in any way if you’re not into it, due to its lack of functions and how rude is it.

Today, for some lucky combination, I got into the closed limited beta of the new function “Twitter lists”.

What this new function does is, yet again, pretty unobvious for the shape twitter has. You can now make lists of users you follow.

In first place, this lets you create separate time-lines, so you can see only what the people of each list are saying. This is pretty useful when you got either thousands of people you’re following, or a separate group, like me for FoOlRulez, you’d like to read. And not only you can see that timeline, but anyone. This will be pretty useful to integrate into FoOlRulez website itself, as it will have its now API soon.

In second place, other people will be able to follow all that list at once. For example you could go on http://twitter.com/woxxy/foolrulez and click on follow, and at once you’d be having our time-line in your twitter. And I can update that list without you having to bother fixing who’s a fool and who’s not a fool.

What is lacking in my opinion is the possibility to add myself to the list: I made my workgroup twitter list, but I can’t add myself, the boss? Oh fail, but lucky this is just a beta, so I guess they will fix this obvious thing.
