Twitter, one of the biggest Social Media sites in the World Wide Web has launched a new feature a few weeks ago called Twitter Lists. This feature has got users of the micro blogging excited allowing them to make lists of Twitter users that other users can follow.

This allows Twitter users to organize other users that they follow into groups or lists. Lists can be a stream of stories, breaking news, or tweets from the users who are behind the stories. The Twitter Lists can be public for the entire world to see and they can be private for personal use.

And now, Twitter is making improvements in their Twitter Lists feature starting out by applying the number one suggestion and request of Twitter users which is descriptions. Before, you can find that there is only a title indicated in the Twitter Lists.

Now, when you edit any list, you will find that you can place in a description which will allow you to describe your list in a hundred characters or less. All you have to do is to visit the list page, click “Edit” which can be found at the top right of the edit page, add a description then save.

Now that Twitter has a description field available you can now use short and snappy titles and be able to give a more effective description on what the list is all about.

Scott Stratten has really been on the pulse of Social Media for a while.  He’s a Twitaholic who goes through withdrawals if he hasn’t made a Tweet within the last 4 seconds.  Don’t believe me? Well it says so in his profile: http://Twitter.com/unmarketing

I “met” Scott online after discovering his viral marketing techniques using video.  He’s made over 60 videos and has over 60Million views.

With Scott’s love of Social Media and being a big time proponent of the REAL social aspect of it, he made a music video.

Now, Scott is a man of many talents but I didn’t expect one of them to be singing!

Alyssa Milano likes the song

One of Scott’s friends said  “by Twitter standards you basically just made out with @Alyssa_Milano”.

The video is on its way to making it big. As of the writing of this blog post, there are 41,314 views of the YouTube video.

Scott really captures what so many people are thinking and/or want to say. That is one of the reasons it’s growing in popularity. Although, stars like Alyssa Milano and Ashton Kutcher think it’s great too, and they tweet it to their followers too.

Personally I’ve watched it a few times and don’t know why.  Maybe it’s because I can’t get it out of my head, I don’t know but it’s worth the view.

Scott, Great Job. When will you be performing on the late night talk shows?
