Why you should create Twitter Lists
Why Twitter Lists Are Different From Your Feed
Twitter lists are useful because they let you see tweets from a select group of users. Think of lists almost like alternative Twitter logins, where you have a unique set of people you are following. You could have a list, for example, of just your real-life friends so that when you want to use Twitter to socialize with people you actually know, you don't have to wade through other non-friend tweets in your main Twitter feed.
Two very important things to know:
1. You don't have to be following a user in order to add him or her to a list.
2. Tweets from your lists do not show up in your primary feed.
Organize your Twitter followers
Whether you have 50 followers or 50,000, you can use Twitter lists to organize those followers based on any grouping method you want. For example, if you are a small business owner, you can create a list that includes all of your customers.
Never miss a tweet
Your Twitter feed can sometimes seem like an endless pit of updates, because quite frankly, it is. Creating Twitter lists allow for a quick and easy way to catch up with those updates you actually want to monitor. You can simply click on the list you want to view, and scroll through its members’ updates any time you want to catch up.
Gain potential new followers
Whenever you add someone new to a public list, they will get a notification letting them know you have done so. This is a great way to increase your visibility with Twitter users who you do not follow. For example, if you add someone to an ‘Influencers’ list, they may come back and thank you with a follow.
