How to Follow a Twitter List

Twitter lists are a way for Twitter users to group other Twitter accounts together. How might you use this feature? A shopping center could create a list to promote each other. A Chamber of Commerce might use a list to follow and cross promote other local businesses.

I created a Twitter list of McHenry county, Illinois businesses to follow and promote what is happening in our area. Since this list began, I learned about many new companies and services I was not aware of.

Another benefit of Twitter lists is you can view the recent tweets of the account holders without actually following each of these accounts.

Here is a recent blog posting about the McHenry County Business Twitter list.

You can see all recent tweets from these McHenry County businesses on a single page.

How are you using the Twitter list feature?

Here is a short video on how to follow a Twitter list.

Where Are You Today Video Podcast

Where Are You Today?” is the name of our podcast series published on our travel blog and  YouTube. My husband is the Executive Producer for these episodes and we have fun filming and producing the scenes.

One of my students walked into my “Facebook for Business” class yesterday and said “I did not know how much fun Social networking can be!” We do find social networking fun as we blend both our business and personal life online.

My husband and I enjoy traveling locally and afar. On our adventures we bring a video camera to shoot footage at the places we visit. We especially like finding out of the way treasures. Having the video camera with us gives us the ability to be spontaneous and take advantage of the moment.

When we get home, Noel transforms the bits and bytes into three – five minute segments we publish in our “Where Are You Today?” YouTube video podcast series.

Enjoy viewing these “Where Are You Today?” segments.
