The tweet below shows what the feature actually looks like:Twitter has apparently been testing this feature since June this year.The idea behind the feature is that you will be able to use lists as either a filter for a part of your timeline (may be one with just your friends) or you could have a timeline on a specific topic. If you use TweetDeck, then its likely that you have already been using lists as secondary timelines. However, with the latest Twitter feature, you will be able to do the same in the main Twitter app itself.
