Top 10 Feminist Twitter Lists

Well then. Twitter has rolled out yet another popularity tool to keep users addicted to the microblogging platform: Twitter lists.

To me, the lists are useful because they can help organize interest groups, offer a branding structure for companies, offer transparency about who is working with who and drive user generated recommendations that everyone can benefit from.

On the flip-side, these lists can add additional elements of hierarchy to the social media space, which contradicts the purpose of social media in my mind to be the greatest equalizer of information.

Regardless of my qualms, I do want to share some of the feminist Twitters lists being made so we can all continue to elevate women's voices in the online space.

Here are ten of the best female-friendly Twitter lists chosen based on volume of people listed, the creator of the list and objective of the list. It's not a terribly scientific process but tried to use my best judgment.

Just hit "Follow" to add these lists to your profile and click through some of the users to find new people to stay in touch with. Feel free to add additional lists you think should be here in the comments section.
