10 Twitter List Widgets You Can Grab & Embed Right Now

Written by Jolie O'Dell / November 2, 2009 6:18 PM / 5 Comments

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!

Here's New York Times editor Patrick LaForge's list of link-happy Twitter users:

  2. 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.

  4. Thanks for much for including a disabilities-related widget.
