A description may have maximum 100 characters and it is an optional field.

You might have experienced a small issue last night before we implemented the description – creating a list without the description field might have been rejected by Twitter API (see discussion). This problem has been solved with adding this new “description” field to the form that creates lists.

We will soon add all other features related to Twitter Lists. Your suggestions will surely help making these features an even better experience.

We’ve implemented this feature and now you may access it in the “Search” tab on Tweetvisor. You will notice a new check box mentioning “Check to Search People (names and description)” that will enable you to search for people names and description rather than just the classic search for tweets.

This new feature will work very well now in conjunction with the Twitter Lists you may use on Tweetvisor since early November. That’s because the people you will find using the new Search People tool may be quickly tagged and added to any Twitter Lists you may have created – check out “Add to lists” link near each user name in search results timeline.

Hours after they have been officially launched for API, Tweetvisor added these features (November 5th) to help you manage the Twitter Lists:

• Syncronize Groups with Lists. If you created Groups before Twitter Lists have been launched, you may export/syncronize your Tweetvisor Groups to Twitter Lists. Follow the link under the Lists drop down box in Friends Timeline or the one in Lists tab on Tweetvisor. Check out the demo video as well.

• Create a new list. Follow the links and on-screen instructions to create new Twitter Lists via Tweetvisor. A list’s name must start with a letter and consist only of 80 or fewer letters, numbers, ‘-’, or ‘_’ characters.
• Manage Lists. Go to the Lists tab and monitor “Lists you follow” and “Lists following you”. More features will soon be implemented in this tab.

• Tag people/Add to Lists. In any timeline displayed in Tweetvisor, each tweet has a link “Add to Lists” that you can access to quickly add the people that updated that tweet to your Twitter Lists. This is like adding Tags to people you are interested in.
• Read the Lists. Friends Timeline has a drop down box you can access to display tweets contained in a Twitter Lists.
