Very nice to hear! :-)

I wasn't thinking of actual DMs - which could well be useful in their
own right.

But I wonder if the sort of "directed tweets" that I tried to describe
would be even more useful. They would show up in my home timeline, not
the DM inbox.

For the sake of discussion: I follow "@alextkachman/groovy-guys" and
would love to get Groovy news from the Groovy guys in my home timeline,
but maybe not get tweets from Groovy guys about what they ate for
dinner. So, clueful Groovy guys would direct Groovy news to the list.

Hmm, actually any such directed tweets should also be seen by direct
followers of the poster. They are presumably interested in whatever this
this person tweets.

So, a tweet by user X, directed to a list L, is seen in the
friends_timeline of user Y if:
* Y follows L, or
* Y follows X.

Cheers,

Marcus
