The second big feature is being able to use your lists as your timeline. Many other clients provide access to lists, but they don’t seem to make them any more important than Twitter does themselves. We wanted to make lists as useful as your main timeline. Sometimes you are following too many people and want to view tweets from smaller groups of people. Tweetbot makes them very accessible.

—As great as the UI and gestures for Tweetbot are, for me, lists-as-timeline is the real killer feature. I’ve now reached the point where I follow two Dunbar’s-number worth of people, bots, newsfeeds and lulz. Lists are the only way I can keep track of the tweets that are near and dear to me and not just noise (worry not, dear reader, you’re on my ‘always’ list. Yes, you.) Tweetbot recognizes this and makes it simple.
