They can look a bit pointless and daunting at first, I mean why would you want a list! But they are the hidden power behind Twitter in my humble opinion, it simply means that you can weed out and filter to your hearts content so that you can hone your experience and interaction on Twitter to what is the most relevant for you, as a user. BTW, I’ve never heard of George Strait – is he good? Linda

Someone suggested I use Lists, but it just looked like more work. Also, I didn’t really understand ‘the point”.
But thanks to this post, ‘the point’ is clearer!
So I could follow all the country music singers that want, put them in a list, make it private.
And voila! I could be alone with George Strait all day!! (Although, not sure if he posts!!)
Thank you, Linda
Patricia

The private vs public debate is an interesting and I guess it depends on why you are using it. My Dorset business list is a curatorial role and therefore is a resource for anyone else to use should they wish to, but my clients list is for my own personal use so that I can carry on supporting people and therefore it’s private.

To not have all the junk in your timeline makes such a difference – you just get to the content that you want straight away – and even better, Twitter on the IPhone now supports Lists as well.

The only area I’m not sure about is whether to make the lists public or private. I can see the rationale for both – I’m just not sure what’s best yet…
