Both Tweetdeck and Hootsuite are awesome Twitter clients that can help you get a lot more out of your social media experience.  Specifically, both these dashboards allow you to monitor multiple “columns” or “streams” at the same time which means you can simultaneously monitor mentions, home feed, searches and list streams which can seriously boost your efficiency and save you time.

But how to add new columns of lists to your Tweetdeck?  It’s actually super simple. Here are the steps:

Step One: Sign into Tweetdeck!

Step Two: Click on the Tweetdeck logo in the top left corner of your dashboard

Step Three: Scroll down to your Twitter avatar and click on it to see all the different types of columns you can add.

Step Four: Click on the list you want to add as a new column and press the big blue button that says “Add Column”

Easy! If you have any questions or tips on how to best use lists with these clients or others just let me know by shooting me a tweet or writing a comment.  Cheers!
