How To Use Twitter Lists

Twitter lists are a great way to prioritize your news feeds, keep track of the latest news and cut down the noise from your Twitter feed.  You can group both the people that you follow on Twitter, and those that you don't. 

Key things to note about Twitter Lists:

  • Can have up to 20 lists
  • 500 people in each lists
  • Lists can be both public and private
  • If you add someone to a public list they will be notified
  • List names can be no longer than 25 characters
  • List names cannot start with a number
  • Create your own lists or subscribe to other people's lists

Here are some ideas of Twitter lists you might like to create:

  • People from a course you are on or group you are in
  • Daily news in your industry
  • Industry leaders
  • Competitors (you might want to keep this one private!)
  • Blogs you follow
  • Fans
  • Friends
  • Colleagues

  1. Love this. I was very late to start using Twitter lists and it really takes care of all the noise on Twitter. I didn’t know that someone is notified if you put them on a list. Are they notified if you remove them?
    Thanks!

  2. Thanks Stacey you video is no doubt simple to understand. Have you implemented twitter card for your website? If yes I would like to request you for that video too.
