Sorry, that didn't make sense. Let's try again:
A tweet by user X directed to list L (of which X is a member), shows up
in the timeline of L, but not in the friends_timeline of any
That's what we offer at PubliciTweet. Create groups (now we're
integrating with lists) and send DMs to the group.

Andrew, Great idea...should be easy enough...just display all the lists and
have an "opt in" button for each, which lets everyone know they want a
mutual follow relationship for this purpose. then as people opt in, they
automatically follow each user in list, and then in reverse...although opt

Understood. My statement regarding re-enabling that feature was part
of a conditional if statement. For now the logic is continuing to flow
via the else branch.

I'm not saying any of this is being implemented. I'm just responding
in the abstract about the scenario you were proposing.

Marcel,
You should talk to Jillian about this as well. I'm sure she will have
a contrary opinion on the matter.

am immediately going to enable the sending of bulk DMs to all the

You shouldn't have to follow someone to opt-in to receive directed
messages. Lists have the potential to be a very different conversation
than your public timeline.

But people who are added to MarketerMario's list won't get his list
broadcasts unless they follow him. That's their "opt-in". If they have
followed him for whatever reason and decide they do *not* want his
broadcasts, they can simply unfollow him.

Marcel,
You can circumvent the issue by making the receiving of a DM that is
sent to a list dependent on two triggers:
a) You must follow the sender of the DM; and
b) You must explicitly double opt-in to receive DMs that are sent to
the list.
Bona fide use cases will be able to acquire the dou

As with all things, there will certainly be vectors for abuse. For
every bad use case, there are just as many or more positive use cases.
We'll certainly be thinking about many on both sides. Thanks for
pointing out some of the potential hazards.

You have to view Twitter in its native environment - desktop/laptop AND
cell phone. People who'd never give their phone number to a political
campaign or ballot initiative will sign up for updates by agreeing to be on
a list and they'll engage in flashmob behavior - just ask Congressman
Stupak's
Agreed. Working on an app for service professionals who need the
ability to target their message at an opted-in group.

There is a solid need for a Tweet to list feature - a political campaign
might organize volunteers by placing them on a list and would need to hit
them all at once with a message.
I have a little script that does this now and it's a high value service in
the eye of campaigns and initiatives. Tw
Marcel,
How would that be different from sending bulk DMs - something I have
been advised in the past is not something that Twitter condones.
Here's the scenario.
MarketerMario has 2,000 followers. He creates four lists and adds 500
of his followers to each list. Now he can send, with four simp
That is indeed an interesting idea that we've been thinking about. The
rules around who can send and receive DMs would continue to be
enforced as normal, so for talking purposes, if you DMed a list, only
those who follow you would receive it.
