Twitter lists let you group Twitter users together to focus conversations you are monitoring. Once you have an existing Twitter list and you have created a Twitter list stream, you can remove users from that list or add new users to that list. Twitter users do not need to be following you to be added to your lists. See Add a Twitter list stream.
Tip: Lists are often sorted by company, industry, or geographical location.
Important: To add users to Twitter lists, you must have existing Twitter list streams.
