The problem is that Twitter is by its very a nature a mobile, on-the-go sort of platform. Only those who actually site at desks all day could realistically use Twitter via the web — the mobile version is substantially more limiting.

The result in my case is that I've basically glanced at some of the new features such as lists out of curiosity, and even set up a couple, but the feature has become quickly unappealing simply because it's monolithic at this point.

If Twitter hopes to monetize their service solely by trying to drive access to the web site, they're going to fail miserably. I suspect they're smart enough to realize this, and must have something else up their sleeve.
