The TweetDeck directory is a collection of some of the most interesting, funny, thoughtful and downright brilliant tweeters out there, collated into a handy categorised directory.

You can access the directory at http://www.tweetdeck.com/#directory 

Each category in the Directory contains a series of lists focussed on a particular subset of that category. Each list will contain a selection of great people that we think you might like to follow. The number of people in each group is indicates next to the list name in the directory listing.

You can expand a list by clicking on the list name. this will show a selection of the list members, along with a selection of statistics about them.

You can click on a user name  to view that person's Twitter profile on the Twitter web site.

If you click 'Add Twitter List' or '+ Twitter List', The list will be automatically added onto your Twitter profile ready for you to import into TweetDeck.

It doesn't matter if you do not follow the people that are followed by the list, as you are able to view lists without following anyone.
