It is currently the 14th highest site for web traffic in the world. It will certainly have a huge impact on spammers and on people who don't know how to use social media properly anyway. According to the latest study, if you are trying to sell to consumers then you should be focusing on Facebook instead of Twitter anyway. It seems like most of the spam fits this category. Where Twitter is keeping up with Facebook (#2 in the world for web traffic) is in B2B relationships. I think that the new lists feature will only strengthen Twitter for these users. It will also boost web traffic and links to Twitter user's sites now that Bing will be indexing tweets. Being combined in a list with similar tweeters to take advantage of this will be the new Twitter strategy to follow.

Paula,

It will also boost web traffic and links to Twitter user’s sites now that Bing will be indexing tweets. Being combined in a list with similar tweeters to take advantage of this will be the new Twitter strategy to follow.
