Twitter Lists

Twitter lists ,one of the new ingredient that the twitter team has added to twitter.
What is it?
A very easy way to manage the people you follow.
Why Twitter List?
we all know that Twitter has grown enormously and tremendously only because the range of connectivity it allows, the very easy way to communicate with the people .We all loved this simplicity and that was the reason it grew up very fast .
But as it grew  it became difficult for the people to handle their friends list.Some users have 60K followers and the people they follow are also quite big in number and so with that big number it is very difficult for a user to keep track with all of them .
And yes there was this problem which the web community saw and they started working for a solution.
The Solution
The solution to the problem was to categorise the people in the followers list and that we now call as  Twitter list.
Now you can very easily create a list (group) specific to a interest .
eg: you are following  all the IT companies in twittier
Just create a new list  and give it a name  say Companies and then add the companies you follow to the list.
Now, when ever you want to see only the updates for the companies you  follow ,instead of searching them in you  home page  just click on the list and Voila  only  the tweets from your companies list will be shown.

Isn't that amazing you have created a tidy room out of a untidy one :D

not even that  every list you create can be public and private
Public in the sense that any body intrested in your follow can just click on that list and he also follows all the list items .
private  means no body  can see it.

Another good feature is that every list you create  has a url so directly you can access the latest tweets of  list .
so  since the lists posses a url you can integrate those tweets specific to list into your blog as well.
the Advantages goes on and on.
Seismic desktop has released its new version and it completely supports Tweeter List!
