The good folks at Twitter
recently rolled out list-making capabilities for all users, finally catching up to functions that many desktop and web apps have featured for a while.
In addition to allowing users to create their own curations, Twitter has also added a basic widget-maker for adding tweets from any user's list to any given website. And since re-embedding the code for Twitter's widget is still kind of a pain,
we've hand-picked
ten great lists and created widgets from them for your expedited enjoyment and copy-pasteable hijacking. You're welcome!

Great subjects on these lists. Thanks Jolie.
Next, I'd like to be able to re-mix 2 or more similar-subject lists into a single widget. I'm willing to bet someone is already working on that.
