5000 per list
1000 lists
Maybe social media editors aren't dead after all. After a BuzzFeed post trumpeted the headline "The Social Media Editor Is Dead" on Wednesday, Twitter unveiled news about Twitter lists on Thursday that delighted social media editors everywhere -- or so it seemed on Twitter for an hour or so -- proving that those editors are alive and well.
Twitter Lists might not be the most popular feature on the microblogging platform, but for those that use them, it's a very efficient way to keep track of Twitter accounts that you want to pay special attention to. This week the company expanded its List feature, giving members the ability to create more lists and include more people.
Twitter announced that it is updating its List feature, expanding it so that users can now have up to 1,000 lists with a maximum of 5,000 accounts in each one. Update to Twitter lists: You can now make up to 1,000 lists (up from 20), and each list can include up to 5,000 accounts (up from 500).
Twitter lists got a refresh on Thursday, giving users the ability to create more lists on the social network and include more people on those created. Previously capped at 20, now you can create up 1,000 lists on Twitter. Those lists can now include up to 5,000 accounts, substantially larger than the previous cap of 500 accounts.
Twitter has announced a two-fold expansion of its seemingly ignored Lists feature, and the upgrades feature significant expansions of Lists' previous limitations. Users can now make up up to 1,000 lists, instead of 20. And each list can have as many as 5,000 accounts in it, an upgrade from the previous limit of 500.
Twitter will now let you make as many as 1,000 lists (up from 20) with as many as 5,000 accounts (rather than 500). Go nuts!
Lists might not be Twitter's most popular feature, but for those who use them, the hard limit of 20 different groups could be an aggravating roadblock on the way to an efficient, compartmentalized stream of tweets.
Before today, users could only make 20 lists on the social network. But now, they can create up to 1,000 lists that each include 5,000 accounts.
I got up this morning to a most pleasant surprise. I read a tweet that got me to an article by TheNextWeb explaining that Twitter announced its expansion to their lists feature. Here is the original embedded tweet: Update to Twitter lists: You can now make up to 1,000 lists (up from 20), and each list can include up to 5,000 accounts (up from 500).
Oh joyful day. Oh wonderful upgraded functionality. Twitter finally updated their list functionality on May 30th to increase the amount of lists you can create from a mere 20 to 1000, and to allow each list to hold 5000 Twitter members, instead of a scant 500. What? You don't use Twitter lists?
