       Sharable Lists!  That’s right.

I know, I know – American spelling!

 Create sharable lists of users around specific topics of interest:eg;tech, education, sports, …whatever!

This comes to us from Marshall Kirkpatrick,  from Read Write Web,

    He says  ”that could mean that clients like Tweetdeck, Tweetie and Seesmic will no longer have any excuse to keep your group lists locked-in”. Woo hoo!

What a concept!
