Twitter as you know already is one of the most popular social networks on the Internet. It is neck in neck with Facebook its rival social network competitor. This past week Facebook and Twitter have been enhancing their social network by adding new features and improving the layout of the social networks. In fact, Twitter has just added a new feature called Twitter Lists. Twitter Lists allows people to categorize the people they are following. You can either share your list with other users on Twitter or you can keep it private. If you make a public list of your favorite celebrities you like following and someone else likes your list, they can add the list to their account which will automatically follow all the people on your list. It is an easy way to follow people without spending too much time looking for quality users to follow. This feature is new and is not yet available to everyone. So keep looking for the feature whenever you sign in to your Twitter account.

This is a video clip discussing what the Twitter List is all about.
