Here are some other very useful tools within Twitter - excellent for research and evaluation purposes at work.

Search.Twitter
•Advanced search around key phrases, within specific dates, and from specific handles. Use for research and networking purposes.

TweetDeck
•Desktop application to organize followers into specific categories. (Ex: industry leaders, customers, potential customers, competition, ECT.) Useful for research and targeting messages.

TwitPic
•Import pictures from your camera phone to Twitter. Useful for special events, real time updates, promotion and media relations.

Tweet Later
•Auto-follow those who follow your account. It also provides an auto-welcome feature to send a custom message to new followers. Useful when we are unable to be twittering real-time.

TwitterGrader
•Measurement of power and authority of a Twitter user by calculating number of followers, power of network of followers, pace of updates and completeness of a user’s profile. Excellent measurement and research tool.

TweetBeep
•Allows you to monitor conversations that mention you, your brand, related/competitor products, and links to your website and blog. Alerted as keywords appear – reducing the need for a manual search. Research and evaluation technique.

Twitterholic
•Find out who has the most followers, and can be most influential as an asset to your campaign.

TwitScoop
•Presents trend comparisons and volume of conversation – tells you what a hot topic is. Research and evaluation purposes.

TwitterFox
•Firefox plug-in that allows you to send and receive updates directly from the browser’s status bar. Use for immediate real time responses and postings, as well as to monitor activity while working elsewhere on the internet.

I just finished a project on using Twitter within Public Relations. I was surprised by the resources available through a program I once thought was simply a status updating system.

Great post, Cris. It was funny; I didn't see any use to these lists because the two people I experimented w/to make a list don't tweet very often, hence, I didn't see any tweets to read! I didn't know you could use this like Tweetdeck which is great since I cannot use Tweetdeck (my OS is too old).

I'll make some private and public lists, I believe. This will make things much easier for me and I'll be able to follow more people more effectively. Thanks for the encouragement and the information!

Yes I forgot to mention that, I have tweeple on multiple lists as well. Good input.
I know I'm in the minority of ppl who just like to use the web more any of the multitude of interfaces, so I might like them more than most.
Yours look interesting. Phase two will be finding more of other ppl's to follow!

Great informative post.
This is what I was thinking when I finally got lists. To group folks how I read them, but to multi-list them if need be, so that other people can best find them.

I don't use the website much, so its more about the public lists, and less about my reading habits, but I do want them to be useful.

Happy Listing my friend.
