Last week I was at a Social Media Breakfast event Paul Chaney talked about the watchwords of the new web being aggregate, curate and filter content. This sumarizes twitter's new list functionality perfectly. I personally have been longing for a way to combine my contacts, since I started down this crazy twitter road, so I just love this. The icing on the cake is that I can also categorize and share lists of the people that I think other people should get to know. This has the potential of making twitter much more powerful for me. I have made my own twitter lists for the hospital and for myself, but what I have really enjoyed is finding other peoples lists and subscribing to them.
Here are some of my FAVORITE lists so far.

I also saw this yesterday, an aggregation by the New York Times of their lists. (http://nytimes.com/twitter/lists) I really like this and hope to see more of it from organizations. I know that I hope we can create something like this soon.
