If you are a regular Twitter user you’ll know that the last couple of weeks has been all about lists. Thanks to a tweak to the Twitter website users can now make lists of users and shares them with others. There’s a good post on how this works here.
So will lists transform the way that people use Twitter? It is too early to say at the moment. So many people now user third party software to access their Twitter account and only a handful of these apps have added list functionality to their offering. For the record lists are available now on Seesmic, but not on my favourite Twitter system Tweetdeck or the many mobile versions of Twitter.
One of the most interesting things about the lists is that its shows how people perceive/categorise you. One Shiny Redder is in ‘awesome music related list.’ ‘top London folk’ as well as other social media types. I am waiting to be included in a Scott Walker obsessives list
Anyhow in a spirit of generosity and sharing I worked with the editor of Shiny Style, Andrea Petrou, to produce a list of UK fashion bloggers on Twitter. It is by no means comprehensive, but includes most of the main bloggers who update their websites more than once a day.
While doing the research I was struck by how vibrant the UK fashion blog scene is. There are lots of very professional looking sites that have great content that are constantly updated. Along with the equally vibrant mummy blogging sectors the fashion bloggers put two metaphorical fingers up to the notion that blogging in the UK is on the wane.
It is also interesting to note that most of the successful bloggers have hooked up with one of the major blog networks. So in fashion the key players are Handpicked Media (which has a huge selection of titles including the excellent Queens of Vintage), Aigua Media (which has several ex Shiny titles like Catwalk Queen) and Shiny Media itself which boasts Shiny Style and Brandish.
The list is here
