Day 12 - Organizing Twitter with List Management

Do you crave organization? Are your Twitter follows out of control? Do you want to use Twitter Lists but they’re a pain in the ass? If yes, keep reading. I’m going to save your life.

I spent about an hour today searching for a Twitter list manager app. Something to help me organize and keep track of my lists on Twitter. If you’re not familiar with Lists, read this. I hate those so-called helpful articles that waste precious time by telling you what you already know.

I found LISATABIRD - I do not make money or affiliate bucks with this. I’ve been using it for about an hour now and it’s OK for getting the job done. All Listabird does is list your lists and allows you to organize the people and brands into lists on Twitter. That’s it. It’s literally just for organizing lists. 

1. You must create lists on Twitter. To learn how, read this. 

2. Download Listabird for iPhone on the app store

3. Authorize your Twitter account 

4. Once the people/brands you follow appear, you can then tap on a name and add it to a list. 

5. SIMPLE

Listabird seems pretty rudimentary. It’s already crashed once, but so far, it’s allowing me to put everyone and everything into place. I have many lists: Friends & Family, Celebs, TV & Film, Shops, Writers, and more. This way, when I just want to see what my friends and family are up to, I click the list and voila. It’s all there. Easy peasy. I’m not aware if this app exists for Android or other types of phones. 

CONS: 

  • Crashed once

  • Isn’t pretty to look at

  • Doesn’t show Twitter profile information

  • Doesn’t allow you to create new lists - you have to go into the Twitter app for that

  • New lists created on Twitter don’t appear automatically. You have to drag the screen down (to update). 

PROS: 

  • Easy to use

  • Easy to set up

  • Unfollow accounts with a swipe

  • Organization times ten

Overall, I tried at least three different apps for this simple task. Listabird is the only one that’s getting the job done and it’s free.
