#1: Organize all those that you follow on Twitter into listsLists allow you to group together the important people you follow so they don’t get lost in the noise of everyone else. You can create separate lists for customers, networkers, targets, social media teachers and so forth. Please Note: that if you create a public list everyone will be able to view and follow this list – this so don’t go putting targets into a public list if you call it that!#2: Phone apps for on the go
