“A few days ago we looked at the new lists feature that has recently been added to Twitter. We covered most of the frequently asked questions about how to create and manage new lists, why lists have been introduced and discovered a few of the problems with this new feature.

However, we deliberately omitted one important question; How Can I Use The New Lists Feature To Improve My Twitter Experience?

“This time last year, I wrote about the 10 ways social media will change 2009, and while all predictions have materialized or are on their way, it has only become clear in recent months how significant of a change we’ve seen this year. 2009 will go down as the year in which the shroud of uncertainty was lifted off of social media and mainstream adoption began at the speed of light. Barack Obama’s campaign proved that social media can mobilize millions into action, and Iran’s election protests demonstrated its importance to the freedom of speech.”

The source for this report is “Engaging Small Businesses Through Social Media.”

“The latest research report from Business.com shows that small business owners are still trying to figure out Twitter … but those who have mastered it are seeing an advantage.

The expansive report covering 1,711 small business decision makers showed that of all the social media channels, Twitter was the least-used. Just 27 percent of the respondents were active on the micro-blogging site.

But even that figure may be deceptively high – the survey sample was of business leaders already using some form of the social web.  Translation: This is why you are still getting blank stares when you talk to most small business decision makers about Twitter.”

“The buzzed-about social media platform presents a direct channel to customers, a launching pad for new projects and a sounding board for innovation.

Laura Fitton was a self-described “homebound mom with two kids under 2″ when she signed up for Twitter in 2007. Two years later, she’s at the vanguard of a new wave of Twitter-inspired entrepreneurs.

“There was no decision to make Twitter the focus of my career,” Fitton says. “Twitter decided for me. Somehow I became a Twitter-for-business consultant without ever calling myself that.”

Fitton’s enthusiasm for the possibilities of what she calls “enterprise microsharing” motivated her to revive her Pistachio Consulting business in September 2008 to connect clients to new ideas and innovation in social media. Since then, she has co-authored the book Twitter for Dummies and launched oneforty.com, an online storefront that aggregates the sprawling Twitter application ecosystem in a central, user-friendly repository. Her Twitter feed, which combines personal musings with insight on Twitter’s role in business collaboration, attracts about 40,000 followers.”
