Twitter to Add User-Curated Lists
Lists are coming to Twitter to help users curate...
"The idea is to allow people to curate lists of Twitter accounts. For example, you could create a list of the funniest Twitter accounts of all time, athletes, local businesses, friends, or any compilation that makes sense.Lists are public by default (but can be made private) and the lists you've created are linked from your profile. Other Twitter users can then subscribe to your lists. This means lists have the potential to be an important new discovery mechanism for great tweets and accounts."
Sounds like a great feature. Will be helpful for separating art from junk.

Simple fix for Twitter to promote the use of their under utilized "favorite" feature RSS feed output over the entire status timeline. This would serve to reduce the current level of spam as well as to promote the knowledge creator "thought leaders" linkages/needs from the "topic curators" who cross compile lists across authors.
Food for thought, does Twitter see more business value in having users attempting to massively following, tweeting, or favoriting?
Think Digg votelet + Delicious subscriptions/inbox features combined into the single Twitter's favorited RSS feature = TwitDigilicious !!
The favorited (curated) RSS feed can defined by the owner as globally private or public or on a tweet specific level such as Delicious now provides.
It can be kluged together now using Y!Pipes, but why force users to go there Twitter when you're moving towards corporations to kick start monetizing your user base of knowledge assets.
