Jolie O'Dell 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!

Workman on 2010-04-15 Michael G. Workman I have heard that Twitter has had a few well publicized crashes and interruptions, and it is being blamed on thier decision to use the Ruby On Rails programming framework for thier web applications, not sure if that was the reason for yesterdays outage, but possibly.

Workman Looks like the Twitter List and Profile Widgets are working correctly again, for a few hours yesterday wednesday 4/14 the server side part of the widgets were not working correctly, that was an error by Twitter I have the HTML and the Javascript working correctly and Twitter has thier part working correctly.

Its possible to use the Twitter widgets with a DIV in HTML and the DIV has a proper ID attribute set. If you want the widget to appear somewhere else than on the left side of the web browser, then you need to use Divs with properly formatted CSS.

Workman I was finally able to the the Twitter List and Profile Widgets to work correctly, then they all went down and are not working correctly, I check some live websites that use the widget and have had it properly installed, and thier Twitter widgets feeds are down also, so it must be a twitter problem.

With proper DOCTYPE, HEAD, and BODY tags, the examples on this page will not work, the include os the twimg.com Javascript file needs to be in the HEAD section of the HTML, and the "new TWTR.Widget" call needs to be in the BODY section of the HTML, otherwise the examples on this page will not work.

No Idea how long the twitter widgets will be down.

Workman I am not able to get these lists to work, in an html page with the only code being the code that is provided on this page, does anyone know what is wrong with these lists?

Social media provides such a great opportunity for people with disabilities to communicate with others.

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.
