Thanks for hunting this @erictwillis.
There are a lot of Twitter lists, but I'm finding that not a lot of them are being used heavily, which probably has something to do with the fact that Twitter seems to be hiding the functionality. Hopefully with a little better visibility and discoverability provided here, we can change that.
There are so many people that love Twitter and want it to succeed (me included!). I wish that Twitter would allow us makers the ability to really extend and make full use of the platform they have built. The API limits are a bit of joke and people are constantly worried about their access being revoked, with little warning and no recourse.
This is really interesting. I am trying to make a similiar product to a dedicated niche: people that work inside companies. This is where I am at the minute, if anyone wants to help, it would be great https://medium.com/@fabiouser/ma....
@fabiouser This look really interesting.
I was contemplating using ProductHunt data to do something like this. Since each product has a list of makers, you can turn that list into companies (or teams).
Would help with some of the leg work, since most of the makers are tied to a twitter account.

@mubashariqbal True. Problem with product hunt is the range. Its to narrow, focusing mostly on product teams.
Will post the idea on GIT sometime soon
Report
A good illustration of how little Twitter leverages this functionality. The most-used list only has 88K subscribers out of 300mm users?! A lot of value squandered.
Agreed, lists are buried on Twitter and yet they could be super useful if the right features were in place (like being able to tweet *only* with members of a list)...
In my spare time, I even started to work on a similar side project (see simple mockup: https://goo.gl/6g1n2N).
Thanks for hunting @erictwillis and @mubashariqbal for shipping it!
Nice little product there @mubashariqbal . I don't understand why Twitter hides this functionality within it's apps. It's definitely something I'd use more if the User Experience wasn't so poor. Glad you made this.
P.S. Congrats on winning PH maker of the year 😎😎
