Twitter, being the fastest emerging social networking tool, attracts many application builders, and one of the greatest interests on Twitter is creating groups of your followers and people you are following. As you become more and more active – you follow new people everyday and your popularity increases in leaps and bounds – it increasingly becomes difficult to follow conversation streams. Using popular desktop Twitter clients like TweetDeck and Twhirl does make it easier to use Twitter, sooner or later, even these great applications cannot help you. What you need to do is, create Twitter groups and group your followers according to various interests. For instance, you may be following family and friends, other professionals, news updates and how to articles. Getting them all mixed up isn’t very helpful. What you have to do is separate them in different groups.
Although Twitter doesn’t provide features that you can use to create groups, there are many third-party tools that allow you to create Twitter groups. Some of them are discussed in this blog post, and also in this blog post.
