What is Twitter List?

A Twitter List is a collection of curated Twitter accounts. This new Twitter feature allows users to organize, group and prioritize the Tweets on their timelines. A List timeline only shows Tweets from the accounts on that List, providing a customized browsing experience.

Detailed Explanation

There are over 450 million monthly active users on Twitter – that’s a lot of accounts you could be following. Although you probably don’t follow millions of other users, even a list of 100 followed accounts can create a busy or overwhelming timeline.

It can be hard to find content that’s most important to you through all the noise, which is where Twitter Lists come in. You can organize Lists around any topic, such as a timeline of close friends, business contacts or accounts related to a specific topic (like news or cooking). You can also join other users’ Lists if they interest you.

Setting up a Twitter List is simple:

1. Log in to your account on the Twitter mobile app. 2. Open the dropdown “Navigation” menu under your profile icon and select “Lists.” 3. Tap “Create a List” from the left sidebar. 4. Title your List, add a description, and choose to make your List public or private. 5. Add relevant Twitter users to the List and hit “Save.”
