What Are Twitter Lists and How Do They Work?
Twitter Lists are custom feeds made up of selected Twitter accounts. When you add someone to a List, their tweets appear in that List’s timeline. This helps you:
- Monitor specific industries or niches
- Follow competitors without following them
- Filter content by relevance
- Save time and avoid noise from your main feed
A Case Study
Elon Musk is following 1,146 accounts on Twitter right now. I believe those accounts he follows are expert on something and their content is worth consuming! That's why I will create a Twitter list of Elon Musk's follows ⬇️
I will use Circleboom to get the full list of Elon Musk's following:
Actually, I don't think all his followings are necessary. There are many politicians and governmental accounts. So, I will eliminate gray and gold verified accounts. Also, I will not list unverified ones. I need only blue badges!
Now, the number drops to 821. You can still apply other filters and make the list more and more customized. For example, I would like to hide fake, inactive or overactive accounts.
I have 617 accounts now! It is time to create a Twitter list with them! You should select them all and click on the "Add to List" button at the top. To secure the safety of your X account, Circleboom limits the bulk addition to Twitter lists to 100 accounts. We will create our Twitter list 100 by 100.
You can create public or private Lists depending on your use case. Public Lists can help others discover valuable accounts, while private Lists are perfect for internal tracking and strategy. You can also add these accounts to an existing list!
The Twitter list of Elon Musk's Following is created! You can check your lists on Circleboom, under the "My Tweets & Lists" menu.
Circleboom provides a full-fledged, dynamic Twitter List Manager. You can take actions like adding or removing individual accounts.
