One problem with Follow Friday is that much of it doesn't happen on a Friday (in Australia :) ). Is one difference that FF is more topical, social and charitable in orientation, while lists are to do with our day jobs or long-lasting networks? Thanks John.

However, I still think there's room for #FF, simply because some people are less enthusiast with Twitter Lists. Besides, #FF ensures '@' to reach the people mentioned, maybe some prefer to acknowledge others that way. <br><br>Although, I gotta admit, using lists is much easier. I prefer to acknowledge someone via MrTweet instead, while a group using Twitter Lists. So, maybe #FL is coming soon? (followlists) We'll see. ha.. love the pic though.

Is it for knowledge on social media tools, mediums, platforms, business strategies, or the whole gamut? Same with non-profit - is it charities, supporters, Facebook apps for making ways to give easier, etc? Lists offer a useful addition to Twitter, I agree, but since they're limited to descriptive titles and no real content (apart from the names in them), it can be hard to decipher the reasoning behind a person's decision.<br><br>Unless, of course, you split them all down into sub-categories, in which case your Twitter sidebar begins to look like John Chow's blog and advert sidebars... ;-) Say you create a list called “Social Media” – why would certain people be in that and why would some not?

It's all in how you use lists. Why not write a blog post about the lists you've created? “Just a list” is like saying “just a tweet”, no? It's all in how you use lists.
