Your Twitter timeline can become an overwhelming place if you follow a lot of people. With the typical Twitter user tweeting several times per day, you can easily lose track of updates from your favorite Twitter users as you plough through hundreds of posts. That's why Twitter gives you the ability to group together users in separate lists. After configuring a list, you can filter the tweet stream by clicking the list name to ensure that you never miss updates from the Twitter users you care about most.
