@basche42 @Zreitano I noticed it doesn't reflect who I'm already following however. or seeing who's following me? Those might be nice additions. What happens if I try to follow someone I'm already following?

@queenleariv Nothing should happen! Will follow anyone you haven't already followed in a list :) we could definitely add a checkmark or something in search results next to folks you've already followed for some more clarity thanks so much for checking it out!

@queenleariv it will only follow people you are currently not following. It will skip the rest :)

@zreitano As a big fan of twitter lists I think this is great - would you ever be tempted to add a chrome extension as well, which could be used whilst on Twitter to find lists to follow? (As thats when i'm most likely to search for a list to follow)

@russellbarnard thanks Russell! I think that is a great idea! What were you imagining? You're scrolling through your feed on the web and we grab the users you're currently looking at and do our best to categorize them and show you 'similar/relevant' lists on Flock?

@zreitano Yes I think that would work nicely. I tend to prefer extensions that directly add content onto the page, in my head it might show the suggested lists similar to the 'who to follow' element or something similar to this.

Very dope. Made one list. Would love the ability to import lists already created on Twitter into Flock. Would be a great time saver. :)

@tiffy4u I think this is a great idea! I threw something together just now so that you can paste the link of a list from Twitter and it will prepopulate the create form with the list members. I did it this way so that you can add/subtract. We only permit 35 person lists ATM so I grab the first 60 from the twitter list. Would love your feedback :).

@zreitano Awesome, checked it out. Way easier. Suggestion, have a numbering system so we know when we've hit 35. Makes it easier when deleting people down to 35.

@tiffy4u Done :). Just added a counter at the top and I bumped the list maximum to 250 (since it is now way easier to port over lists!). Thanks for the awesome suggestions.

I think anything that supercharges and short circuits the process of finding the RIGHT people to follow is magic. Great job!

I’m always intrigued by origin stories, even if they’re fairly recent, and I found this one about flock interesting: https://medium.com/@basche42/sha... One of the many cool lists created so far: http://flockaflame.com/lists/A16... – even just previewing tweets from the flock site you can get an idea of what A16Z is thinking about.

This is really great @basche42 @Zreitano I am constantly frustrated by twitter's search function, so this will save a lot of discovery time and googling!

I always thoughts Twitter lists were for spam since I get added to a list at any given tweet. But this actually pretty cool!
