Well looks like Twitter is here to stay and continues to grow albeit a little slower now than shooting straight to the moon. One of my biggest grips with the whole Twitter community is trying to find people you actually want to follow. If I were a hotel I’d want to follow travelers and other hoteliers before I follow news accounts, ya know what I mean? You can do all of the searching you want and really all you find is a bunch of user generated lists on blogs that have links to perhaps 50 of the top whatever according to them.

Because of this hodgepodge of random lists by random people @Zedomax and I set out to bring everyone’s list into one place and created Twitli.st.

Before you start mailing me flowers and $100 bills I want you to check out the site, especially all of you Twitter users and shoot us back some feedback so we can further improve the idea.

Now onto the goodies…

If you are anyone looking for any type of Twitter list we’ll have you covered in no time.

Hotel and Travel Peeps can jump right here to our Travel Twitter List and Hotel Twitter List follow over 1100 people as quick as you can click the follow button. The more times people are listed and recommended by others the higher they’ll show on these lists. Or as the saying goes… the cream rises to the top!

Since you cant recommend individual people and only lists we have eliminated a huge spam problem and made the Twitter Lists experience more pleasant. Now people can visit for the sake of sharing other cool Twitter lists with the world or drill down in the categories to find lots of relevant Twitter users.

Starting to see the potential here…?

The more lists people recommend the bigger the categories grow and the more relevancy is added to those using. I would again encourage you to try it out and recommend the best Twitter list you know of.

Looking for target Twitter lists, look no further…

Drop your thoughts and comments below, we’d love to hear them!

In fact, we all are.

What do I mean by this?

I mean simply that each of us by default is a social media expert. We each read, write, talk, text, email, twit, Facebook and the like with each other all of the time.

Let’s compare ourselves to 100 years ago. You could count the ways of communication on one hand. In person, telephone, the wire and print publications.

Now we have devises that can do all of that by themselves.

What’s it mean to be a social media expert? Nothing, because we all are.

If you need helping learning how to be social online, simply treat everyone like they are your largest customer.

Most people view social media experts as someone who makes money helping people tap the amazing powers of the Internet like it is some magical box.

The truth is, the difference between being a social media expert and just a social media user typically involves speeches, business cards and charging lots of money.

The best social media expert is the one who just teaches you how to listen to your customers online and talk to them like normal, everyday people, because they are.

Dog and pony shows are awesome, but the truth is we all know how to be social. It’s just time to learn how to do that with new tools.

Thankfully, Twitter, Facebook, Blogs and Youtube are built with a super shallow learning curve.

If you want to pay someone to set up a Twitter account for you or a Facebook Fan page, that’s great. Do it if it saves you money by saving you time. Or you could just ask your 15-year-old son.

Done.

Now take all of that money and time I just saved you and go and do something awesome!
