Yesterday I covered Issue #1 with lists. This one is much simpler. You cannot add yourself to a list. How can anyone in a company make a list to share and then add themselves? Can’t happen. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? Look at the list I created for TheSocialGeeks. I created it so I can’t add myself to it.
How can you effectively build a list that everyone follows when the topic may contain yourself?
Scenario: If you build the top list ever, in any category, you can’t be on it! You do not reap the benefit of making lists for a category unless you have yet another Twitter account. Which in turn eliminates people finding you for creating the list. A nasty circle they overlooked.
