So
is there an easier way to follow so many people on Twitter without your
timeline becoming overcrowded?
How to create a Twitter
List – Gain more followers as they know your interests
If
like me you're Twitter follow List is getting a bit overcrowded, you can always
subscribe to a Public List. According to the Twitter Help Page,
a Twitter List is a Listing of Twitter followers that you like to follow made
available for other to follow.
In
the case of the Government of Jamaica Twitter handles, you can follow them all
by joining the Jamaica
Government Public Twitter List on DigiJamaica.
You
can also follow other Public Twitter Lists, albeit they’re somewhat difficult
to find via Google or even using Twitter’s built in search engine. When you
visit the profile page of a tweeter, you'll be able to see their public Lists
as well as Lists they follow.
Creating
Public Lists not only makes it easier for your followers to follow the Twitter
feeds you like but people are more likely to follow you if your interests,
reflected in who you choose to follow, matches with their interests.
Even
better, if you tweets are considered noteworthy, your Twitter feed might end up
being added to their Public Twitter Lists, thereby expanding your range. You
can benefit from Lists by creating your own
Public List as follows:
Go
to your Profile button and select Lists.
 |
Then
click on Create New List button.
 |
Give
your List a name, description as well as select to set it Public (anyone can
see the List) or Private (only your followers can see the List) and Save the List
 |
Once
you do this, you can then choose to add to your List either from Twitter or from
the List of Twitter handles that you're already following.
 |
In
my case, I'll choose to add from my Following List by clicking on the option.
When the List of followers comes up, click on the Gear Icon and select Add or Remove from Lists...
 |
Once
the popup appears, select the List you wish to add it to and it’s added.
 |
You
can then repeat this process and add more Twitter feeds to your Twitter List.
 |
So
create your Twitter Lists today. And remember Caring is sharing so share this
information with your friends on Twitter!
Here’s
the List:
