When you’re actively using Twitter, consistently following and engaging new tweeps, your following will grow so large that it will become a challenge to manage. Twitter lists are one way to manage your busy timeline. Twitter gives you the easy ability to group people into specific lists, which you can refer to quickly to catch up with tweets you may have otherwise missed. Twitter lists are the best, most effective way to isolate tweets from specific people, so that you can look at them separate from your crowded timeline.
