Our friends at Twitter rolled out their much-anticipated Lists feature to all users today. The new capability is very useful for finding and following users in certain verticals or categories, and we think that it is reasonable to expect an explosion in list-making over the weekend.

ReadWriteWeb has a great piece on Lists, which includes their 10 favorites thus far.

In honor of the new feature, we here at Austin Startup and Startup District have begun seeding 6 Austin-related lists:

• Austin VC’s
• Austin Founders
• Austin Press and Bloggers
• Austin B2B
• Austin B2C
• Austin Social Media Pros

If you have other lists you’d like us to add, leave a comment.

And, what we’ve got so far is only a start – please follow the lists themselves, but also be sure to alert us of anyone we’ve excluded, using the form below – we’ll make the additions in short order.
