<p>Listorious. <a href="http://listorious.com/" target="_blank">(http://listorious.com/)</a></p>
<p><P></p>
<p>Twitter&#8217;s new Lists feature allows anyone to curate the real time web. Listorious makes it easy to find the best lists of Twitter users on any given topic, and for list creator to publicize their lists.</p>
<p><P></p>
<p>This site was created using new Twitter List API. Thanks to the Twitter team for their support.</p>
<p><P></p>
<p>Listorious was created by Sawhorse Media in New York City. If you have comments or questions, please email hello at sawhorsemedia.com or contact us on Twitter at @sawhorse.</p>
<p><P></p>
<p>Follow @listorious for site news and updates about interesting lists. </p>
<p><P></p>
<p><B>Matt&#8217;s Take:</B></p>
<p>First off, I was really surprised this site was up and running as quick as it was. I feel like just a couple days ago, I heard about these new &#8220;Twitter&#8221; lists and then I heard about this site that was created to keep them all together and in one centralized area that people can search through the lists and also include their own lists, which they have created.</p>
<p><P></p>
<p>I&#8217;m also quite surprised that they have everything working as well as it does as well. Just from what I know about websites and website development, there&#8217;s about a 75% chance that a new website that I&#8217;m guessing was built rather quickly, would work as well as it does. I haven&#8217;t found anything yet that is messing it up and that is not working properly on there.</p>
<p><P></p>
<p>Overall, I think this is a great site, and I&#8217;m interested in seeing more sites like it pop up in the upcoming months. Although, Listorious is definitely a front-runner.</p>
<p><P></p>
<p><B>Rating: 4 out of 5 ( I )&#8217;s</B> </p>

<p>Dropjack.</p>
<p><P></p>
<p>Just came across another site called <a href="http://www.dropjack.com" target="_blank">dropjack.com</a>. To be honest I can&#8217;t really tell that much of a difference between this and <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com" target="_blank">StumbleUpon</a>, but makes me think that there&#8217;s got to be more new creative things out there, then to just copy something else that someone has already been doing. (Point in case..have you heard about Christian Chirp? <a href="http://christianchirp.com/" target="_blank">http://christianchirp.com/</a>&#8230;post about this tomorrow.)</p>
<p><P></p>
<p>In the &#8220;About&#8221; section of the site is has this very simple statement. &#8220;DropJack.com is a social content website powered by users like you.&#8221; Which I kinda like the idea of, but once again this is exactly what StumbleUpon is doing right now. The only difference I really see about this site, are that you can create groups of people with like interests. &#8220;Groups allow users to share articles with other members who share a common interest in a topic. Join a group to submit topical articles that other members would be interested in. Some groups may require membership approval before you become part of the group.&#8221; &#8211; dropjack.com</p>
<p><P></p>
<p>Overall, I probably won&#8217;t use this site much, as I&#8217;m just starting to get into <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com" target="_blank">StumbleUpon</a>, but maybe once this things gets going a little, I may give it a try. </p>

<p><P></p>
<p><strong>Welcome to Kazle.</strong></p>
<p><P></p>
<p>Little story for ya. As I was sitting on an airplane this morning I noticed a guy who was sitting across the aisle from me and he was playing a game on his iPhone. Pretty sure it was Risk, but he kept playing it and the stewardess came over the intercom and did her normal, &#8220;We have now dropped below 10,000 feet and we ask you to please turn off all electronic devices&#8221; (I also had the thought that one day I may want to be a flight attendant) Anyways, enough ADD for now. So she comes by him and asks him to turn off his game and he gives her one of the rudest looks that I&#8217;ve ever seen. Then once she goes up front, the guy turns into a little kid and holds his phone down and finishes playing the whole time we&#8217;re landing. Then once we&#8217;re off the plane, the guy brought over our carry on luggage and was starting to pull them off, and the same guy rushes over and grabs his carry on off the cart before the guy can hand it to him.</p>
<p><P></p>
<p>And now you&#8217;re asking yourself&#8230;where in the world does Kazle come in? Kazle is one of many sites that I&#8217;ve seen recently that allow you to update pretty much any of your Facebook/Twitter/Flickr updates all with one click of the button. Now in theory, this sounds amazing and sounds like it would be easy to use and save you tons of time, but in reality, as you can see below, when I first clicked on Twitter it just sat there for a good five minutes before it did anything.</p>
<p><P></p>
<p><img src="http://mattmanes.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/kazle-fail.png?w=300&#038;h=187" alt="kazle fail" title="kazle fail" width="300" height="187" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-22" /></p>
<p><P></p>
<p>Overall, I don&#8217;t think this is a bad product, and I probably could have used it a little more to see it&#8217;s full potential. But at the end of the day, going back to the guy who was impatient on the plane, my main thought was that I feel that as Americans we have lost the idea of patience and have this weird desire to need things done quickly and right now, when sometimes the &#8220;better&#8221; thing is to take your time and just do things one at a time.</p>

<p>This week I learned about a brand new program that Yahoo! put out called <a href="http://sideline.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">http://sideline.yahoo.com</a>. (Apparently they are still a company) I haven&#8217;t used Yahoo in forever, but when my boss showed me this, I was quite impressed. Basically it&#8217;s a live Twitter search, that you can set up using keywords and different groups to search for. I&#8217;ve started using it to help out my old college, <a href="http://www.waynesburg.edu" target="_blank">Waynesburg University</a>, to start a small social media campaign to reach out to future students. You can follow it here: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/iamwaynesburgu" target="_blank">@iamwaynesburgu</a>.</p>
