"The Interest Network" Sorts Twitter Lists; Raises $3.5 Million

Twitter lists are a popular way to group followers who Tweet on similar topics. TLists, otherwise known as Sulia, has taken the concept of grouping people and tweets and transformed it into online publication for popular and up-to-the minute information.

TLists, a New York-based company that specializes in a web-based application for grouping and sorting Twitter users into related groups, announced yesterday it has raised $3.5 million from a collection of known investors. The company, now running as Sulia, is among a growing number of startups that have built businesses off Twitter. TLists was originally developed as a tool for web publishers and Twitter clients but with the growing popularity of Twitter lists the company has shifted focus to become a publisher and build a business based on ad revenue.

Rebranding itself as a media company, Sulia will cater real-time streams or “channels” of relevant messages from a variety of sources.
