Several weeks ago Twitter released their list feature which allows users to create lists of Twitter accounts which anyone can follow.  By following the list, you can follow an entire category of Twitter users at once.   I thought I’d put this feature to good use and create a list of Fairfield Tweeps (Tweeps = people who use Twitter).  Now you can follow all of Fairfield simply by following the Twitter list Fairfield Voices.

Currently there are 84 accounts in the list, but I know there are more Tweeps than that here in Fairfield.  If you’re a Fairfield Tweep and are not on the list, simply follow the list and then reply to Fairfield Voice requesting an add, like so:

“@FairfieldVoice please add me to Fairfield Voices! #fairfieldia”

We’ll add you as soon as we receive your Tweet.

The list is a great way to track your fellow residents as well as stay up to date on local businesses.  For example some stores like Chickadee tweet their special offers and sales.   No need to wait for the newspaper to know what’s going on.   Twitter might actually be the first technology to even beat the local grapevine!
