Twitter Lists - how to use them for monitoring and marketing

When did you last look at Twitter lists? Oh, OK you haven’t…well you may be missing an opportunity.

Effectively then they act as a filter.

Now, you can create public lists or you can create private lists -if you create the latter users will not be notified about their inclusion.

Why not create a private list of your competitors? Here you can just covertly observe their profiles without publicly following their accounts...
