I promised you all some unique ideas for using Lists. Just posted them on my blog: http://bit.ly/3nvrWa

Enjoy!

Hi, Jeannette. Lists are like groups in TweetDeck. You’ll pick a set of people and create a list that consists of those people. Then, you can view just their tweets in a separate window or screen. It makes managing the stream easier, especially when you are following a lot of people. Now you can say, “My Friends” and “News Sources” and so on. You might check My Friends frequently to keep up with them, nad News Sources less so.

Other people can view (if you make your Lists public) and subscribe to your Lists, allowing them to view the tweets in a separate stream as well. So, if someone creates a List for Fiction Authors on Twitter, you don’t have to go to the trouble of finding those authors and maintaining the list when new authors come on line. They do that and you just subscribe to see tweets from the Fiction authors. You aren’t actually following those people, so they don’t count toward your limit (that’s my understanding, anyway).

Hope that helps.

I’m with Jeannette. I know I have not had my head in the sand either and am really confused on the Twitter lists. I guess I’ll wait for more information and do some studying on it.

Thanks Neicole for the wonderful information and informing us of what is going on. I’ll stay tuned for further information!

I don’t think I’ve had my head in the sand, but I’m not quite sure how Twitter Lists work. What kind of content will go on the lists? Are they lists in the true sense of the word, numbered or lettered, like the “10 Best” or are they narrative blogs on a single topic. I’d like a fuller explanation.
