JDG, I appreciate your response. That works if your trying to develop your on separate client/dusplay e.g. TweetDeck.
But that doesn't help with updating the list displayed in Twitter. This more of a Twitter.com issue than a Twitter API issue. But I posted here anyway in hopes development would pickup on it. As it stands right now, the Twitter.com lists display is cluttered. We're just moving the clutter from timeline to the multiple "lists". And when Twitter API developers go to query these lists from Twitter API, the results don't tell you much about the tweets in the list. Like you said, we'll have to use hashtags and scan the list results.
