User Manual:Using PAT Twitter Lists

A PAT-Twitter list is a curated group of Twitter users that can also display additional information shared about those users. You can create your own lists or subscribe to lists created by others. When you subscribe to a list, members of that list will be outlined in red on your tweet stream and elsewhere on Twitter. You can look at a users's Twitter profile to see which PAT-Twitter lists they are members of and reasons they were added to those lists.

Note: PAT-Twitter lists can be either public or private. Public lists are permanent public records. They can be subscribed to by any user who has access to the facilitator (or "server") where they are hosted. Private lists exist only on your computer, unless you share them directly with others (such as via e-mail). Not even Twitter admins can see them.
