How to create a custom list on twitter

Creating a Custom List on Twitter

Lists are a compilation of different Twitter accounts with the purpose of organizing a person’s interests. Anyone can make a list and include several different accounts. It’s a convenient way to have a group of accounts in one place, making them easier to find.

You are able to follow lists created by other people, and you can also create your own.

1) Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the main Twitter page. A drop down list will appear, and then you need to click on the one that says ‘lists’, which is the second option down from the top.
