Get Your Lists in Order…

The “lists” function allows you to organize other twitter users into groups.

View a list to see stream of Tweets from all the users included in that group.

Note: you don't need to follow another user to add them to a list.

Great if you want to read a user's Tweets but not see their messages in your main timeline every day.

Similarly, following someone else's list does not mean you follow all users in that list - You follow the list itself.


How to Create a List•Go to Profile of the first user to add to your list

•Click the list button drop-down

•Click on “Create a List”


•Enter the credentials of your list, and choose whether others can see it or not

•Check to see if the user was successfully included in that list: to do this, click the list drop-down. A blue check will be added next

to lists in which that user is included


Notes About Lists…• 20 lists per user• List names cannot begin with a number• List names cannot exceed 25 characters•Maximum of 500 accounts on each list

Adding or Removing People From Your Lists

•You can add users (including yourself!) from anywhere you see the “list drop-down” - Including: People searches Profile pages (including your own) Yours & other users followers and following lists•Check the boxes of lists you want to include that person in.•Uncheck the box if you want to remove them from the list.


Notes About Lists…

To See Lists stats

On your Twitter home page, clicking on the “listed” number (which is next to your “followers” number) will bring up a page all about what lists you are on. Viewing List ContentTo view the stream of Tweets from any group of people in lists you follow or have created, follow these steps:Go to your "Home" pageClick the "Lists" tab on the left panel of the screenChoose which list you'd like to viewRight away, you'll see a stream of Tweets from the users included in that list


Notes About Lists… Editing or Deleting ListsGo to your "Profile" pageClick the "Lists" tab on the left panel of the screenChoose to see lists you created, lists you're in, or other people's lists you followClick the hockey symbol on the left to edit your list's name and info, or click the trashcan to delete the list entirely. You cannot add or remove people from your list on this page – you must do that from the profile pages of each individual you wish to add or delete. Subscribing to/Following Other People's Lists Following a list is same as following a Twitter user. Click on the Lists tab on their profile, and select which lists options you want -Click follow button to follow one of their lists.


Notes About Lists…

You can remove yourself from a list by blocking the creator of the list.Note: If the owner of a list that you're following includes a public user that you've blocked, you will still see the updates of the blocked user. This behavior is similar to visiting the profile page of a public user that you've blocked: you're still able to read their tweets. Mentioning ListsYou can link to any Twitter List by mentioning it as you would any Twitter user, just add a forward slash “/” followed by the list name to list owners username:@<username>/<listname> (example: @zdeluca/Brisbane)

Note: Renaming a list will break any links you've posted to that list.
