My Twitter Lists

Twitter has just enabled a new feature named “Lists” which permits to organize in categories the people you are following and make their tweets available to others. In this way it’s very simple to navigate the various subjects, follow the lists created by other people and subscribe to them.

I’ve tried this new functionality and created my own lists about Silverlight-related stuff, feel free to subscribe here if you find useful:
