The lists are an easy way to keep track of contacts in various niches. I found them to be faster and easier to set up than making a list on Tweetdeck.

The entire point in creating a list on Twitter is two-fold - they are for you to create for your own benefit and to aid in other people discovering other tweeters from the lists that they find interesting. For example, I find I tend to follow a lot of people who do web development, and I also follow colleagues and quite often do reciprocal follows too. This does mean that my main Twitter stream can get pretty crowded, and whilst I'm asleep I can usually guarantee there will be more tweets from people I follow than what I'm allowed to collect via the API. What this means is that I could miss potentially interesting tweets from the people I'm the most interested in reading about.

In TweetDeck on the desktop it's great that there has been the ability to create groups for a while which meant I could create a group solely for updates from colleagues - now I can replicate this using Twitter Lists so I can see what they're tweeting about.

I think it's like having a filter really more than it is about having bragging rights to how many lists you appear on. A very nice and potentially useful feature from the Twitter team.

This is the first major enhancement to Twitter in a while - the ability to create lists / groups of people to follow.

The idea is pretty good, and we may well see some usefulness come out of the feature.

But the implementation is kind of clunky, and the biggest use case so far seems to be for the usual social media guru suspects to tell each other how popular they are.

I tried using MobilityPass this Summer while traveling in Europe. Out of about 25 attempts to connect to the Internet only two succeeded. A month later I discovered MobilityPass had withdrawn $650 from my credit card account. This was for 60 minutes of use. Works out to more than $10 a minute!
When I wasn't able to connect via MobilityPass I used hotel internet services and hotspots, all of which were easy to locate and free.
MobilityPass is really outrageously expensive and the usability is very poor.
Also they require a deposit which they refuse to refund, but they keep topping it up without notice from your credit card account.
I regret very much letting myself get ripped off by these people. Please take my advice and avoid them.

TitanClicks is a scam. They haven't paid their members in almost 2 years. They says it's due to transfer of ownership, but I call BS. AVOID this site. You won't get paid.
