1. Twitter Lists are dynamic and much more than a static listings of users. Twitter Lists are categorized  twitter  streams of the latest tweets from the users on a list.

2. Twitter Lists give you the ability to organize the people you’re following on Twitter, or find new people.

3. Each Twitter list has a list page where you can get a snapshot of the Twitter list users  tweets which are included in a complete tweet stream for everyone on the list.

4.  Make following people easier. For instance when you find a twitterite who has an awesome list  you will  beable to add the whole list.

5. Twitter Lists  give you the opportunity to follow people using  a Twitter list without following them as an individual. So…you can view their tweets without actually following them.  In this way Twitter Lists that you belong to can include people you’re not following.

6. Searching for twitterites with similar interests will be so much easier using the twitter list features. 

Twitter Lists why would you use  them?
Not sure about why you would use a Twitter List? Don’t  worry here are a few ideas to get you started

•  Create a Group 
  Use Twitter Lists to organize your tweeps into groups based on anything you want. For example, podcasting, cats lovers, golfing enthusiasts. When you view a  list, you easily see all of  the tweets of the  list members.
• Recommend Your Favorite Tweeple 
  Twitter Lists were designed to allow people to recommend other users to follow. Simply 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
  By following a Twitter List, you’re actually following the entire list not each user on the list.  So… you can use Twitter  Lists to follow people without really following them. How does this work?  Well say for instance that there  are users whose tweets you’d like to follow, but you don’t want in your main Twitter stream, you can add them to a list and then check their latest tweets when you want to by viewing your list.

Twitter has decribed Twitter lists  as “a way to organize the people you follow and discover new and interesting accounts.”  Select twitter  users have been told that they are part of a small beta-tester group and asked them not to discuss the lists in their updates.

Twitter lists let Twitter users categorize the people they follow, streamlining their feeds. The news release acompanying the announcement of twitter lists included the folowing points

• Setting up a list is simple
• The homepage will have a list banner that will allow you to make a list simply by clicking on “Create a new List” Once created the list name will be converted to a permalink  like twitter.com and the list can be set to public or private viewing
• On the right hand column of your homepage a new “lists” area will be visible under your bio. Click on this and you will see your list overview page. This is where you can manage your lists and the users public lists that you are a part of. 
• Clicking on any of these lists will take you to the twitter stream of the twitterites on  the list. 

So what does this all mean? Well for those who follow hundreds of other users, the list feature will be a great time saver as it allows users to  separate, dog lovers from podcasting experts. Indirectly it will probably create a sort of popularity contest, showing users how many lists others have been added to. 

We hope this overview has been useful if you like this post share it with your friends or leave a comment.
