Making a (Twitter) List and Checking it Twice
Are you a making list and checking it twice? No, I’m not talking about your naughty and nice list. I’m talking about Twitter Lists.
Twitter lists are buckets for your followers (or accounts you’d like to follow without actually following). With roughly 288 million monthly active users, it may be hard to connect with the right people through all the “noise”. Lists are a great way to get organized and sort accounts into manageable groups.
Examples of some buckets/lists for your business may be industry leaders, news/blogs, current customers, and even customer prospects. You can set lists to public for other Twitter users to subscribe to or keep them private for your eyes only.
How do I add someone to a Twitter List, you may ask? Here’s how…
Log into your Twitter account and find someone you are interested in engaging with, go to their profile page
Click the gear icon near the follow button and click “Add or remove from lists”
THE END!
As of December of 2019, Twitter has launched two new features to make Twitter lists even better! “You’re able to share them with a card on Twitter for iOS and Android.” and “When creating or adding people to a list on iOS, you’ll see suggested accounts to add based on the list’s title or who's already on it.”
