Twitter is meant to be a public thing, not a network for only those who are "friends". So, you can follow anyone at all, and anyone at all can follow you. Don't tweet personal information and you will be fine.
Lists are the feature you want. You can add people to lists without following them directly, so their tweets appear in that list but not in your main timeline. For instance, you can add @cultOfMac and @MacWorld to a Mac list, then follow your family. Your family's tweets will appear in your timeline, and the Mac-related tweets will not, instead appearing only in your Mac list., On Jan 25, 2014, at 4:25 PM, Jim Portillo <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I wasn’t quite sure if this question was appropriate, but since I can use > Twitter with either a computer or an iDevice…the twitter website or twitter > app or TweetList, I figured I could get some kind of answer. > > I was told that one could have lists or groups on Twitter where you can group > your friends or people you’re following.
