The idea is simple. We want to put new Twitter lists to great use by creating lists of every single person using Twitter in Ireland. We want to do using twitter itself and we want to use the power of crowd sourcing to do it. All you have to do is tweet the message below and we will collect all the tweets and add them to the lists for each county. We will then publish the results and have a full twitter list of users for each of the 32 counties as an incredible public list for the Irish public to use.
What you need to tweet to get listed

*Replace Cork with the county you live in
Where To Find The Lists
You can see the full Twitter lists at Twitter.com/simplyireland and Twitter.com/simplyireland2. The reason there are 2 is because Twitter onlly allows you 20 lists per profile. The lists will be updated as the day goes on but will NOT be updated in real time so don’t worry if you don’t appear instantly on the lists, you will appear eventually!

That’s great, but there are only 32 counties in Ireland.
Not a huge fan of lists, but I’m in just to see where this goes!
Well, we weren’t too sure about them either but this has certainly changed our minds! It’ll be interesting to see the results.
There are 32 counties in Ireland
Er… how many counties in Ireland?
@Eamon @Damien @Aisling Now changed, thanks for pointing it out!
@DamienMulley – but how many are connected to the internet?
What of the diaspora ? I think we need /Boston etc. etc. ..not trying to complicate things, really
It’s a good point. A few people that have emigrated have taken part and just tweeted their home county. Much less complicated
Not complicated at all!
So can I do this and add where I’m from even if I’ve moved away?
Hi Lisa, absolutely! Just tweet your home county.
sure why not, hey?
I want to get listed #TwitterDublin
Hey Keith, make sure you tweet it too, so we can keep track!
Where can I find Laois?
Hi Paulo. You simply send the tweet above, but replace Cork with Laois. Hope that makes sense!
It’s that little one between Offaly and Kilkenny. Easy to miss I’m sure
LOL! Thanks for the info folks!
One more question: Does my twitter account have to be public for this to work?
If you follow @simplyireland we can follow you back and will see your tweet. Otherwise no, it won’t work.
Ok, so I’m following SimplyIreland so has soon as I get a follow request I will be able to continue, right?
SimplyIreland seems full now (20 lists), do I need to follow SimplyIreland2 to get Laois on that?
Yes I’ll follow you from there now
One final question:
Are you only interest on real people or can structures (like a house) that are based in Ireland be also included?

Swelling the numbers I guess… But I would like a sub-group in Cork of those up for a coffee in CorkCoffeeRoasters sometime
Hey, can I add myself to more than one county? Don’t want to get listed in them all – just three.
Hi Darren. Yes you can absolutely. Just remember that it’s us that has to sort you at the other end
I do not see Clare and other counties on the list.
