Twitter recently rolled out a list feature where you can create public or private lists under your profile and add users to your lists. When viewing your list you will only see tweets from people who were added to your list. This works similar to creating groups in TweetDeck or Hootsuite but now this feature is built in by default to Twitter Web Site and it works very well.
Unlike the groups/favorites you set in Twitter Management Programs, your lists can be made public and when public anyone can hit the URL’s and see just what your list network is saying on twitter. Lists make it much easier to segment out your personal and professional twitter affiliations and even allow you to group companies and users into separate categories.
I see lots of potential for this feature, especially once Tweetdeck and Hootsuite update their software to be able to display lists as columns.

I like it a lot, Justin. If one has a group of friends you just open it and watch tweet of member of the group. You don’t have to search for them individually. Just like group functions in Hootsuite and Tweetdeck.
And if your list is public then it’s added exposure (more follows?) for them. After all it’s just like a vote of confidence for these tweeters.
