1 Sign into your Twitter account. These steps are essentially the same whether you're using Twitter on a Web browser or in the mobile app.
2 Click the gear icon in the upper right and select Lists.
3 On the page that opens, look for the button "Create new list" on the right. A pop-up box will appear asking you to name the list, give it a description, and mark it either public or private. I'll give some examples of lists in the next section.
4 The next page that appears will show you a blank list: no members, no followers, no tweets—nada. You can use the search box featured front and center to look for people to add to your lists, and you can add (and remove) users from your lists as you actually use Twitter, making changes to your list at any time.
5 As you use and explore Twitter and find accounts you want to add to your list, click the gear icon that appears on any user and select "Add or remove from lists."
To find a list's URL to share:
- Go to the list you'd like to share.
- Copy the URL that shows up in your browser's address bar. It will look something like this: https://twitter.com/username/lists/list_name
- Paste the URL into a message to anyone with whom you want to share the list
