Healthy Lists
What a useful resource the internet is. This month, we’ve scoured the Web to find you the best twitter solutions, blogging tools and exercise regimes on offer.

listorious.com

WHAT IS IT? If you are an avid tweeter, twitterer, twit or whatever they call people who use Twitter, Listorious.com goes a long way towards solving one of the biggest problems — finding people who are interested in the same topics as you.

THE GOOD: The service provides a more open selection of lists than Twitter’s own Suggested User List (SUL) which offers new users a selection of people to follow. What’s more, if you can’t find what you want, you can create your own list on Twitter then add it to the site.

THE BAD: It offers so many lists that most people won’t look beyond the first few at the top — the ones that already have the most followers. Also, Listorious.com works by using the tags added by whoever created the list, which are not necessarily accurate.

VERDICT: Useful but features too many lists.

The only drawback to this site is that you have to add your own traffic tracking devices if your want to monitor your visitors.
