Introducing Twitter Lists

Today, Twitter started rolling out their list function to selected accounts.  We’ve tried them out, and they’re great, so far.  Twitter allows you to create both public and private lists to streamline your Twitter experience.

As an example, maybe your company would like to start a public “team” list to keep your employee’s personal accounts in one place.  You can access this list at @yourcompany/team.  Now, viewers can follow an entire list of people, if they choose.

If you want to keep track of what your competitors are tweeting each day, that would probably be better kept in a private list.

Note: You do not need to be following someone to add them to one of your lists.

To create a New List:

1. In the right column, click on “New List”
2. Give it a name
3. Search (Find People) for user accounts you’d like to add to this list
4. Click on the list button (see below), and select a list to add your user to

To remove a user from a list:

1. Go to the user’s profile that you’d like to remove.
2. Click on the list button and deselect them from the list*

*Note: Sometimes, all lists will already be unchecked.  In this case, check and then uncheck the box.  The user should be removed.

Please let us know all the great ways your using this new feature!
