One of the major benefits of utilizing tools like Twitter lists, Twitter chats and other forms of social media curation is that in addition to helping connect yourself to others you are also helping connect others with each other, usually around topics of interest.

Most of us know the benefits of connecting more with other people: friendship, great conversations, networking and more.

But connecting others with each other can be equally valuable as well since as a connector of people you also become a central hub between friends and a curator.
