Twitter updates lists as it pushes users toward 'interests'

Well-curated lists can be incredibly useful, but they've always been buried in Twitter's app.

Now the company is putting lists front and center, with an update that lets you pin specific lists you follow to your main timeline. With the change, which Twitter has been testing since July, you can simply swipe left from your main timeline to see tweets from lists you follow. The update is rolling out now to Twitter's iOS app and will be "coming soon" to Android.
