More on Twitter Lists

Okay, it's been a week or so and I have had some time to digest and form an opinion on the new Twitter Lists. A few tips ...

First and foremost, when making a list - make it for YOU. You can put anyone on a Twitter list, even people that you don't follow on Twitter. My advice here - make your Twitter Lists for you. Translation ... I have a list of favs - these are my favorite people to read on Twitter for a variety of reasons. I did not make this list for anyone other than myself ... just to have a nice quick link to access my favorites. If someone likes my list and chooses to follow it - great - but that's not why I created it :)

Being on someone else's list can be ... a huge compliment or a little strange. Most of the time, being "listed" is pretty rockin and can get you a slew of new followers and great connections on Twitter just by getting listed. Know where you are listed! You can see the # of times you are listed just underneath your username on the homepage of Twitter, at listed. Click on this to view the lists that you appear on and see their creators. You can view the list, follow the list and check out the list maker from here.











If you find yourself on a list that you do not wish to be associated with ... you will need to block the list creator to remove yourself from that person's list. You can do this by clicking on the list creator and then choosing block username.















Have a GREAT week!!!
