Thanks Maryellen — lists rock. What I love most I think is the attraction factor — people LUV to be listed. And even if they don’t know right then, at some point they’ll figure it out. Or heck, just tell em! ‘Hey, I just added you to my Kewl Peeps list!’ etc. People love that. 🙂
ReplyRachel, I’m definitely on the list bandwagon with you. It made my Twitter life way more manageable with just a couple of hundred people I’m following (I can’t even imagine thousands without lists!)
When I started using lists, I found that if you’re trying to do a massive amount of list editing it can be slow and tedious via Twitter. I found http://twitlistmanager.com/index.php and it made getting started on lists much easier.
ReplyHi J. Kendrick and thanks for the tip. Giving twitlistmanager a try. My only difficulty is that the list titles don’t travel down the page with you, so you can’t see who which list you’re placing them into without toggling up and down (unless there’s a button for that I’m missing?). Other than that, good option. thanks for the rec!
ReplyI’m so glad you posted this, Rachel. I’ve been thinking about lists but never got around to it as I thought it would be too time consuming. I’m now going to work on it first chance I get! Thanks for posting this. 😀
ReplyYou’re quite welcome, Carlie. List are quite easy when you get started. People seems so intimidated by them and then are shocked when they see how easy and valuable they are. Please let me know your thoughts once you try it out yourself.
ReplyLove it! Now that’s what I want to hear. Of course, I love the compliments, too (hehe) but it’s really not rocket science. That’s my Twitter mantra from the beginning. It’s just a matter of clicking around and figuring stuff out. I’d love to be the one and only BadRedhead on the list. Rock on, Mike.
ReplyWhew, Rachel, (and I thank you for this great post) . . . I’m not alone in my lack of List knowledge and importance. I thank you for dispelling unknown angst or laziness on my part. Yes, I am a lazy guy some of the time . . . must go walk Zippy and Kipling.
ReplyThank you Justin. You’re not lazy. You’re like most Twitter folks, I think. Just…unaware. I find lists kinda addicting. I hoe you do too. 🙂
ReplyI already have a bunch of lists so I’ll be waiting on your more in depth post with baited breath!
ReplyThanks for your comment, BK. Lists are so easy & it’s just an extra click. I find them easier to do on my mobile for some reason. 🙂

ReplyThanks hottie. I’m so glad to hear you’ve embraced lists — #woot! Too awesome. Let me know how it goes for you. xo
ReplyWow. I had no idea the power of creating list. I plan to create a few list today. Thanks for the post!
ReplyYou are quite welcome. A friend just commented today that she started using them and had about 1K new followers in the past few weeks! Awesome.
ReplyI am reluctant to follow because I find impossible manage a huge Timeline. I do not understand how people can follow 10.000 or more, and think they are not really “following” (reading). So, I use lists for people I DO NOT FOLLOW. Is it a great mistake? Besides I have observed that lists give you a selection, not all the tweets of the people in the lists.
ReplyHi Miguel and thanks for your comment. I myself have a large (over 10K) following so I use lists to manage specific categories of folks: writers, bloggers, social media, etc. I respond to practically all @mentions and DMs. But the beauty of Twitter, and lists for that matter, is that you are your own curator. If your system works for you, great.
We all have 20 lists for up to 10K people. I myself prefer to follow those who I want to interact with but that’s my choice. As for a selection, that’s not been my experience. Perhaps it’s how you view it? I don’t know. I’ll research further. Thanks for bringing that up. 🙂

ReplyThank you so much for sharing this information, Rachel! I’ve seen comments on lists, and been added to lists, but never understood what they were all about or how beneficial they might be. Having the ability to organize everything as you discuss in this post is hugely appealing! And you make it all sound easy enough that I think even I can do it 🙂 I now know what I’ll be looking into setting up over the next week.

ReplyGreat article Rachel! I’ve decided to take twitter a bit more seriously so I’ve been Googling like mad for tips! Your blogs (amongst) others have stood out and they have been really helpful. Thank You. I’m going to make a start on my lists right away!
Nice to meet you.
Jules
Replyi have a question! if i add myself to my own list and later decide to go private with the list and i use the block, unblock feature. Do i accidently block myself from my own list or twitter account?
ReplyNo, you can’t block yourself. Twitter doesn’t allow that to happen. Good question, though. 🙂
