Why Use Twitter Lists
Social Media for Business |
Friday, March 19, 2010
47. A summary of this goal will be stated here that is clarifying and inspiring
Create a Group – Because Twitter Lists create grouped tweet
streams of the people that are on them, you can use Lists to
organize your tweeps into groups based on anything you want.
You can create lists of your co-workers, family, or friends, or just
group Twitter users based on location, subject, or anything else
you can think of.
Recommend Cool Tweeps – One of the other intended
purposes of Twitter Lists is to allow people to recommend other
users to follow.You can create a public list of people you think
other Twitter users should follow, then anyone else can visit that
list and follow the people on it (or follow the list).
Follow People You Aren’t Following – When you follow a
Twitter List, you’re not actually following every user on the list,
but following the entire list — those users’ tweets aren’t added to
your main stream.

Simply click on the “New list” link to begin
creating a new list. After you click on that link, a
window will pop up asking you two questions.
OC Networkers
Public Lists – These lists can be seen by anyone, and anyone can
follow them. Public lists are ideal for lists of recommended follows.
Private Lists – When Twitter says private, they mean private. Only
the creator of private lists will be able to see or subscribe to them —
not even those on the list can see private lists. That means, for
example, you could create a list of your competitors and keep an eye
on them without them being any the wiser.
