Spot on, I've been using lists for years and I'm using them more often to avoid some of the noise in Main. Good stuff.

This sounds like an excellent idea. Paul, as usual, you are bubbling over with creative solutions to help people thrive in a digital environment.

Since your article refers to twitter, I thought I'd mention my broken relationship with Twitter. I apologize as this is off topic.

I posted a message on Twitter which harshly criticized doctors who had administered testosterone blockers to pre-pubescent male to female transgendered patients.

I did not advocate violence, I did use hate speech, and I did not advocate breaking any laws.

However, Twitter barred me from further use of Twitter. Twitter offered to let me return provided that I renounced my views.

So apparently Twitter wants to play a little game in which they ape the antics of the Peoples Republic of China, and I sheepishly repent, like a bourgeois decadent in a re-education camp.

I told Twitter: Nothing Doing.

By the way: I have no bias against Transgendered people or gay people. I am gay. However, I think that a lot of people who are gung ho about transgenderism don't know what they are talking about. I have no time to go into the specifics,

Anymore, I feel like Lists should be the default option while using Twitter; it makes the experience 10x better (and efficient!).

Great suggestion, and I agree with Mark that Twitter's execution of the Lists leaves a lot to be desired. On mobile, I've finally got a decent "daily" list of friends and must-reads that I can have in a "tab" at the top of the app, but on desktop, I believe I still have to click way down to get to my lists. It's almost like they want us stuck with whatever they shovel into the funnel down our gullets!
