If you are already involved in Twitter then you have undoubtedly heard about the new Twitter list feature. I think this is the best thing that has happened to Twitter since Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) started tweeting!

Twitter lists allow you to group fellow tweeters into groups to make following your favs much easier. The one beef I’ve had with Twitter is that it is really hard to follow people that you are interested in. I suppose one obvious answer to this is to only follow people that you actually want to hear from, but one of the great things about Twitter is getting to know new people. If you avoid anyone you don’t know you will never grow your network – and social media is all about growing your network.

Key points for Twitter lists:

1. Each account can have up to 20 lists, and;
2. Each list can include up to 500 users.

Creating a list is super-easy. At the time of this writing you will find a message at the top of your page after you log into Twitter with a link called, “Create a new list.” Simply click on that link and and give your list a name and start adding tweeters.

You can also take a short-cut and follow other people’s lists, so if you find a really good one created by someone else you can follow theirs.
