You may have made lots of Twitter lists to categorise and follow key individuals. But what if you’ve made a list that you think you should be included on? Twitter doesn’t let you add yourself to your own lists… but Hootsuite does!
Step 1:
Go to your Hootsuite account and on your Twitter tab click ‘add stream’. Add the list you have created as a stream by clicking ‘lists’, then selecting your Twitter username and selecting the list from the options that appear
Step 2:
When you have loaded this stream, click the small triangle in the top right hand corner of the box it is in and select ‘preferences’
Step 3:
Type your own username into the box that appears here
Step 4:
Click ‘done’, and you will now be on this list!
Now when you share the list link with people, it will include you. Lists are a valuable tool for Twitter accounts so use them properly and you will reap the rewards!
