A year ago, Twitter launched its Lists feature (yes, it’s been that long). Lists gave users the ability to curate and organize groups of Twitter users. Users quickly rushed to create lists based on industry, interests and friends. The reaction to Twitter Lists has been mixed; while several people make a habit of curating new lists all the time, most people ignore the feature. While there are many Twitter users with over 10,000 followers, only two lists have over 10,000 people following.
The new Facebook Groups, on the other hand, rely on “social solutions” to get groups of friends and associates to form mini-communities on Facebook. Features like private walls, group chat and e-mail threads have tech circles and the blogosphere buzzing. Still though, the question remains: will people actually use Facebook Groups?
Facebook Groups and Twitter Lists are the subject of this week’s Web Faceoff, our ongoing series where we pit two different tech products, tools or trends against each other for your vote. This week, we want to know which one you prefer: Facebook Groups or Twitter Lists? Do either pique your interest, or do they both disappoint?
