Dabr becomes the first Twitter client to integrate Lists [Amended: Not the first, the second.]
Dabr, an open source twitter client has become, as far as we know, the first Twitter client to add lists to its feature list. Amendment, we have since discovered TalkingPuffin to be the first client to support Twitter Lists (since October 18th), more details here.
Twitter lists have recently been shipped out to almost every Twitter user and if you’re looking for guides on the feature, read this post.
Simply put, lists are a neat way to sort your followers into easy to browse groups. Lists can be made public and private and of course if they’re public, they’re visible by every Twitter user out there.
So how have Dabr integrated the feature?
Co-founder James Whatley explains:
Your new homescreen options include ‘lists’ in the top bar.

Unfortunately, I haven’t made any lists yet so there’s nothing there to show you… Um. I tell you what, lets find someone who has made some lists: Robert Scoble – aka @scobleizer – he’s definitely made some lists.

So on Robert’s profile, click ‘lists’ and voila, you can see his lists (as below).

Let’s click ‘Twitter Tools’

According to David Carringdon, the other half of this project, you can now see which lists you appear in. and also see who’s in the lists.
Carringdon also notes: “There’s a known bug that paging doesn’t work with tweets or user lists, – Twitter have made it more complicated than usual to help with their performance. I’ll implement the paging next time I get a chance to work on Dabr…. tomorrow hopefully

I fear for those desktop clients, as the List API draft is so raw. Twitter posted a message on their dev board announcing some significant changes to the API coming soon, so any current implementations are going to need a bit of a rewrite when that goes live. I have an application live for list discovery and rating, but am waiting on the API updates to occur before announcing it.

John, I was *this close* to including a list of librarians too. We love librarians at RWW! Thanks for plugging a list here.

Thanks for the correction, which I must correct. TalkingPuffin version 0.72, released Oct 18th, added some support for Twitter Lists. I made no claim about it being the first.

i don’t follow ashton, oprah, mchammer or any of those media hores…

@Luka, In the earlier artcile you mentioned dabr which I believe is correct. In this article you mention Damr. Which is correct ?

I like what http://www.tlists.com/ is doing, and I’d like to see a simple Twitter List widget, very similar to the ones that Twitter has for Search, your own account and Favs.

Great lists. I especially like Scoble’s founders and LaForge’s linkers, I am a web dev "linker" myself.
I have created some lists with a handful of followers so far…
http://twitter.com/DotSauce/domainers – 48+ top domain name investors
http://twitter.com/DotSauce/apps – 45+ of the best Twitter apps
http://twitter.com/DotSauce/google – 22+ official Google profiles
Consider following.

Great list – thank you Marshall. I have added some of them to my follow list and thanks for all the comments too – some great resources that your readers are sharing.

very interesting these Twitter Lists, I have already done some Lists too:
http://twitter.com/Oberhauser/social-media
http://twitter.com/Oberhauser/top-blogger
and I much like to work with it, by the way @rww are listed in both lists.
It would be interesting to know how Twitter will establish limits for Lists, I mean for sample how many Lists is one allowed to follow, how many Lists one is allowed to have, how many people can get added to one list per day/at all and so on …
Maybe this could be a topic for one of your next posts about Twitter Lists.
Thanks for the post.
Stay tuned.

i don’t thinck that twitter lists is the secret weapon for social web, maybe for only twitter users, then yes.
Social web need synergy and unification that could leverage a piece of highly customizable software deployed on the client, which will unifie all social networs in one main, standardized stream

I’m not a big fan of Twitter and think it’s popularity will soon fade.

Some may enjoy the ‘Booklovers’ list curated by @foliosociety. http://twitter.com/foliosociety/booklovers
Also, @Jason_Pollock’s ‘Great Content’ list is worth checking out. It has more subscribers than the @NYTimes lists, but fewer subscribers than the @rww team list. http://twitter.com/Jason_Pollock/great-content
Lists have opened a new level of discovery that is very exciting. Thank you for your excellent recommendations.

I am compiling the following lists:
http://twitter.com/miss_mu/twi.....one-marrow
People who need bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell donors (bone marrow donors, for short) who are also Twitter users. I may extend this to someone who spends a lot of time looking for a patient match.
http://twitter.com/miss_mu/act.....row-donors
People who have been actual bone marrow donors. Not just registered, but gave a bit of themselves (it replenishes naturally).
http://twitter.com/miss_mu/bonemarrowdonation
Registries and organizations that aim to educate people about bone marrow donation, blood donation, create patient-centred appeals, register donors, and so on.
I’ve just started, but I will be keeping it updated as much as possible.
