I have been using Twitter for a little while now and I think most of you can agree that the more time you put into it, the more you get out of it. Without Twitter I would have never connected with so many like minded people. After using the service for awhile I have started following a large number of many interesting people. Now that Twitter Lists has been added to Twitter, I can finally organize this following into groups.

Twitter made creating a new Twitter list so easy that anyone can take advantage of it. In the right sidebar of your profile, simply click the “New list” link. After this, a dialog box will pop up allowing you to name the list and choose whether your would like it to be public or private. Selecting a private list will only give you access to the list and no one else.

I immediately started four different groups that summarize my current four different interests. The lists that I have created I’ll be adding to and maintaining as time goes on. My four lists are:

  • PHP Tweeters: This list includes a majority of the most influential PHP developers and evangelists.
  • SEO Tweeters: Like the PHP list, the SEO lists includes some very noteworthy SEO specialists.
  • iPhone Tweeters: I have this list just because I have an iPhone and I’m interested in the apps, bug fixes and news.
  • Fun Tweeters: Right now, this list only has in the hosts to the 404 podcast. I’ll be adding other interesting tweeters to this list that don’t really relate to any specific category.

So feel free to follow these lists and if you feel like I am leaving some important Tweeters out of a Twitter List just leave a comment or contact me through the blog. Also please comment your lists that you think would be interesting for other people to follow.
