New To Twitter Lists: Descriptions (bye bye, #followfriday)

As well as improving the overall look of the pages, Twitter has added a way to include descriptions to each of your lists, something I felt was an oversight back in my original look at the feature.
It’s absolutely worth taking a moment to accurately add a brief note to each of your lists. Give people a reason to sign up.
This naturally will lead to a better way to search lists, too – it’s much easier to interpret a sentence or two than it is (what is often) a fairly non-descriptive list name.
Moreover, this may well be the final nail in the coffin of #followfriday.

#followfriday – that stupid, onerous, pathetic, miserable, nonsensical, outlandish, contemptible practice – will never go away. As long as there are people who think it’s cute, helpful, and a way to give props to people, it will remain forever. Along with the Lifetime Channel. Sigh.
I don’t see this killing followfriday. In fact I see the lists enhancing followfriday because instead of listing a bunch of user names, you could just say follow everyone on this list. I truthfully don’t see anything wrong with followfriday.
