I would love to, e.g. "software engineers", "authors", "investors" etc, but imo the feature is completely unusable as there is no batch editing. Definitely has a lot of potential, especially when combined with filters: "Give me Silicon Valley people minus politics and hyperlocal info"

I didn't know about lists(not a hardcore Twitter user) until this thread then I went to check it out.
First thought was, great feature, but I had the same issue with batch editing, then I tried using lists through Tweetdeck and it is much easier to create lists, remove & add profiles to each list, Twitter might actually become useful for me with this.

I get that. Twitter has a lot of usability imperfections. Lists is one, but I still use them. Anywhere from 0 - 200 people, depending on how much they post, is about the maximum I can handle in any one stream. So I segregate into lists. I see you have about 400 people you follow, which would overwhelm me if they were all in my main feed.

Most of those people are have a low tweet frequency though.(it would be great if Twitter provided better statistical insight into these matters)
if people start spamming or their signal/noise ratio goes down I unfollow them quite quickly.

Yeah, that's my greatest wish too - something like average tweets per hour/peak tweets per hour/average tweets per day/peak tweets per day stats.
