New social media tool 'aims for meaningful experience'


Twitter users have been urged to create lists of content using a new tool, which the company's co-founder believes will be a new "discovery mechanism".
A new Twitter tool has been developed to help people communicate more information in a cohesive manner, according to the social media site's co-founder.
Biz Stone, writing on Twitter's official blog, commented that any user can curate a list and claimed the feature will become a "discovery mechanism".
He also mentioned how several media companies have already begun making lists using Tweets, such as the Huffington Post during their coverage of the baseball World Series in the US.
"Lists also make it easier to curate tweets into meaningful real-time experiences on your own sites via the Lists API," said Mr Stone.
There are also new applications on offer to help people create lists such as TLISTS, while others provide users with a selection of recommended Tweets of this kind, for instance Listorious.
Last week the social media company announced that it is partnering itself with Google to allow Tweets to appear in the search engine's results pages.
