Introducing Mixtweet

The first time we signed up for Twitter we stared at an empty friends list. Nobody likes a vacuum, so we immediately started adding everyone we could - people we knew, people Twitter recommended, and anyone else who posted an @ in front of their names in blog posts.

But then something bad started happening - we couldn't keep up with everyone's tweets. In short, we were suffering from timeline overload and that quickly led to Twitter Paralysis.

Mixtweet.com is the cure for Twitter Paralysis.

You can group whoever you want (following or not) into Twitter Lists and then manage/ keep up on everyone's updates in an interface designed specifically for this.

For example, let's say you've created several lists. Mixtweet will show you all of them under "My Lists" (see screenshot below) and next to each one, there's a count to show you how many updates have come in, in real-time.

Making a mix is a breeze

Mixtweet offers many ways to add people to your mixes:

• Manually typing in their names
  
• Adding them from your lists of friends by clicking on the "+" icon
  
• Adding them from other lists you see on the site by clicking on the "+" icon

Share your creations

Once you've created a list, you can share them via the popular social network and bookmark sites. You can also customize and embed a widget on any website. For example, here's a widget showing Breaking News headlines from 12 different sources:

Discover lists on a wide range of topics

Creating lists to help you overcome Twitter Paralysis is only part of what Mixtweet is about. The other part is being able to discover what other lists people are creating on topics you might be interested in. If you tag your list, it will show up in our directory for people to find under the Explore tab. This is a great resource for if you're new to Twitter and don't know who to follow or if you're just looking for new people to follow. You can save any list and manage them the same way as lists you've created. Best of all, there's no commitment - following people is optional.

In the coming days, we'll be covering some other ways Mixtweet makes your life easier. Stay tuned.
