Here’s a look at how to create and edit Twitter lists as well as subscribe to other people’s Twitter lists.

About Twitter Lists

How you organize your Twitter lists is up to you. For example, create a list of your close friends, and when you select that list name, you see a timeline of messages from everyone on that list. If you’re a web designer, for example, create separate lists for online startups, HTML5 coding, and interactivity. Lists can be public or private. Make a list public to help other Twitter users find interesting topics to follow. Private lists, on the other hand, are a way for users to read tweets in an organized way. When you create a private list, you’re the only one who can see it.
