Twitter Lists are a great way to filter your Twitter stream, especially when you&#8217;re following a large number of accounts. And you don&#8217;t need to follow the accounts that are in the list, so this is a good way to get past the 2,000 following limit if you&#8217;re up against that. You can create your own lists or follow lists that were created by other people. Here are some examples of Twitter lists that I&#8217;ve created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/lists\/6478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tech News<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/lists\/798312937978900480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Politics<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/lists\/13089\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bay Area Food &amp; Drink<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/lists\/13076\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bay Area Events &amp; Culture<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/lists\/13218\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bay Area Sports<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/lists\/13533809\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Healthcare<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/lists\/2982430\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Product Management<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lists can be public (shared) or you can create private lists that only you can see. I&#8217;ve created private lists for close friends &amp; family and a &#8220;My Favorites&#8221; list containing the twenty or so accounts that I don&#8217;t want to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter lists look good on Twitter.com but I usually read them on my iPhone using Tweetbot or on my iPad using Tweetdeck or the fantastic <a href=\"https:\/\/about.flipboard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flipboard<\/a> app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how Twitter lists look on Tweetdeck. It&#8217;s really easy to see several lists at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mdoeff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/tweetdeck1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/mdoeff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/tweetdeck1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1499\" title=\"Tweetdeck\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdoeff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/tweetdeck1.png 1024w, https:\/\/mdoeff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/tweetdeck1-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how a Twitter list looks on Flipboard. <s>To add a Twitter List to Flipboard, tap <strong>More&#8230;<\/strong> on the upper right, then go to <strong>Social &gt; Twitter &gt; Your Lists<\/strong>.<\/s> (Flipboard no longer supports Twitter lists due to X killing the Twitter API)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mdoeff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/flipboard_twitterlist1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/mdoeff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/flipboard_twitterlist1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1358\" title=\"Twitter List on Flipboard\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdoeff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/flipboard_twitterlist1.png 1024w, https:\/\/mdoeff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/flipboard_twitterlist1-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like using Tweetbot on my iPhone to view Twitter lists because you can quickly switch between lists by tapping in the title bar area.
