Andrew, Great idea...should be easy enough...just display all the lists and have an "opt in" button for each, which lets everyone know they want a mutual follow relationship for this purpose. then as people opt in, they automatically follow each user in list, and then in reverse...although opt out might be tricky on a few levels. I would love to use such a tool. Do you need a domain for that? I own MyTwibe.com and MyTwibes.com
