Introduction

Twitter is an online microblogging service that distributes short messages known as tweets. Tweets are influential in molding culture and politics in the 21st century. Twitter was founded by Evan Williams, Biz Stone, and Noah Glass in 2004. 

How to create a Twitter List

Earlier Twitter was a free SMS with a social networking element. In 2010, Twitter uncovered "Promoted Tweets," which are advertisements that would be displayed in search results. This was twitter's primary revenue source. Twitter, Inc. is located in San Francisco, California, also. Twitter has more than 20 offices around the globe. 

This blog will show us how to create a Twitter list in detail. So, Let's get started!

Twitter Lists🙇‍♀️

Twitter lists allow us to organize, customize and prioritize the Tweets we see in our timelines. We can choose to join Lists that are created by others. We can also create lists of their accounts by topic, group, or interest from our account. We can also pin our favorite Lists to the top of our home timeline so that we never miss a tweet from the accounts we are interested in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Twitter lists do?

Twitter lists allow us to customize, organize and prioritize tweets we see in our timeline.
