ConversationList.com - Conversational Twitter Lists

Any new feature or service is something which poses some difficulties, notwithstanding how easy to use the actual service might be. Twitter lists (the most recent addition to the micro-messaging giant) are not that hard to grasp in abstract, but the principle detailed above applies as well. We have started witnessing the emergence of the first apps that aim to make lists a common currency when it comes to tweeting. Now, ConversationList joins the club.

We can describe it as a tool whereby you can create a Twitter list that includes all the people you talk to on Twitter, in a way that entails little effort on your part. That is, the list is updated according to your behavior – if you stop talking to someone, the Twitterer is dropped from the list.

These particular lists go by the name of “ConversationLists”, and in order to create one all you have to do is approve the application so that it can access your Twitter account and compose the list. The main objective of these lists is to give Twitterers a bigger context they can relate to, as followers can see who is it each individual talks and answers to. In this way, messages are taken out of the sort of vacuum some associate with Twitter and a (in theory) more realized time can be had by everybody.

“A conversationlist is your attention transformed into a tweetstream. To be a little more specific, a "conversationlist" is a Twitter list of the people that you talk to (and about) on Twitter. The list is automatically updated daily, so that it always reflects the people that you are paying attention to right now. If you @reply (or @mention) someone, they're added to your list. If you stop talking to that person, they drop off your list.”

Anything which places tweets in a more precise context is interesting by default.

How many people can make up the same list? Is that limitless?
