Twitter has introduced Twitter Lists to a select group of beta users quite a few by the look of it!
Like “groups” in other 3rd party applications like Hootsuite and Tweetdeck Twitter Lists enable users to follow collections or groups of related Twitter users specify such as geographical location or specific subject area or interest. This will prove invaluable for clients such as ourselves who may want to follow people from a wide range of not necessarily related areas such as project management, design, personal development etc. Creating lists is also great for SEO (we do very good Search Engine Optimisation Training if you need it) if people link to yours!
