How to use the lists on twitter?

[Corey]

I just dont understand what they are. Are they the things that get "trending"? I would like to make one and I dont know what to make it. Could it be like something I like to talk about or like current events that are talked about? Please give some ideas.

Hi Corey,

Here are some of the benefits of using Twitter lists:
1. You can monitor a group of individuals or like-minded people.
2. You can promote your lists – this is such a great way for a group of people to promote each other on Twitter.
3. Build a bigger following – it will naturally help you grow your own following.

Hope this helps.
