Using Lists on New Twitter

Thanks to the changes brought forth by #NewTwitter, it seems a good idea to revisit Twitter lists.

On #NewTwitter:

I am on my profile page and I click on that dropdown box to the bottom right under my profile. You will see:

A list created through LinkedIn for my LinkedIn connections on Twitter (a list to which I don't actively add)
The main list that I created — US-troops-supporters
The choice to create a list

When you click on "Create a list" you will get this box:

You can make the list private so that it is just a helpful list of Twitter people in whatever category you decide to create – friends, fans, bloggers you like, whatever.

Or you can make the list public so that others can also benefit from the list that you are compiling.

Now still on my profile, which is open to anyone to see, you can click on the button LISTS on the same navigation line as TIMELINE. And this is what you'll see:

If you click on any of the lists, you'll see the newest updates by people on that list:

If you are wondering how you can benefit from information on other people's lists, below are the links to two posts that have suggestions.

These posts appeared on www.TwitterandYourWebsite.com and are based on advice from @CathyWebSavvyPR. And although these suggestions pre-date #NewTwitter, the posts are still quite helpful:
