Twitter is beta testing a new feature called Lists with limited number of users before a wider roll out. The motivation behind Lists is the realization that once you start following a large number of people keeping track of incoming tweets gets overwhelming. By creating group lists of tweets from friends, colleagues, bands you love or family, handling a flood of tweets should get easier.

**How To Use Twitter Lists:**

Twitter lists will be public by default, but can be made private. The lists that you've created are linked from your profile; so other Twitter users can then subscribe to your lists. Labels could create a list of their artists. Bands in a genre or city might band together to build their scenes with a joint Twitter List.

I'm already planning a joint **Twitter list of music industry bloggers and influencers** (analysts, thinkers, execs and more). If you've got ideas about who should be included (including yourself) leave a comment below or send me a direct Tweet [@hypebot. ](http://twitter.com/hypebot?ref=hypebot.com)
