Carl ji, S ji,
A twitter List is a convenient way to keep track of a particular set of tweeple's activity (i.e those on the list). Nothing less nothing more.

As opposed to those you explicitly "follow", the tweets by the people on a particular list even if you have subscribed wont appear on "your timeline" but will appear on the "list timeline" .

Tweeple can follow a list's timeline even without subscription to the list if they have the URL to the list.
So what is the point of subscription to a list by a user ?
-Subscribing to a list is like bookmarking an URL (the List gets saved to "your lists" )
-Gives feedback to the list creator and others on twitter to the popularity of the list

apart from above two aspects there is actually not much additional utility "subscribing" to a List as compared to directly using a List's URL to view its timeline.

More on Lists and their usage

Twitter Lists are Twitter's long awaited "groups" feature. They offer a way for you to bunch together other users on Twitter into groups so that you can get an overview of what they're up to. That's because Lists aren't just static listings of users, but rather curated Twitter streams of the latest tweets from a specified set of users.

In other words, you can create a list that groups together people for whatever reason (the members of your family, for example), and then you can get a snapshot of the things those users are saying by viewing that list's page, which includes a complete tweet stream for everyone on the list. Lists allow you to organize the people you're following into groups, and they even allow you to include people you're not following.

There are many reasons for creating lists, but here are a handful of ways that you could use the Twitter Lists feature. Uses

Create a Group - Because Twitter Lists create grouped tweet streams of the people that are on them, you can use Lists to organize your tweeps into groups based on anything you want. For example, we've created a list of everyone at Mashable. By viewing or following this list, you easily see what all of Mashable's employees are tweeting about. You could do the same thing with your co-workers, family, or friends, or just group Twitter users based on location, subject, or anything else you can think of.

Recommend Cool Tweeps - One of the other intended purposes of Twitter Lists is to allow people to recommend other users to follow. You can create a public list of people you think other Twitter users should follow, then anyone else can visit that list and follow the people on it (or follow the list).

Follow People You Aren't Following - When you follow a Twitter List, you're not actually following every user on the list, but following the entire list — those users' tweets aren't added to your main stream. You can then visit that list and view its tweet stream. That's why you can also use Lists to follow people without really following them. For example, if there are users whose tweets you'd like to follow, but whom you don't necessarily want in your main Twitter stream (perhaps they tweet too often for your liking), you can add them to a list and then check up on their latest tweets every once in a while by viewing your list.

Lilo ji,

I got that - but dunno why my tweet didn't appear on the list page today.

Also, when we @address someone, does that person actually see it? Or does one have to "reply" to one of their tweets for them to see it?

Ok probably one of the below Carl Ji
@Replies on lists
Replies work the same way for lists as they do for accounts. This means that if User A and User B are on a list and they mention each other, those replies will appear in the list. However, if only User A is on a list and User A replies to User B, that reply will not appear on the list.
There is no feature that enables users or list owners to send a message to every user on a list.

Users with protected Tweets on Lists
Users who have opted to protect their Tweets can be added to lists. However, you will only see a user's protected Tweets if you have been approved to follow that user.
Other users who view your list will likewise only see a user's protected Tweets if they have been approved to follow that user.

It is not being nice, we have to realize all these ideas and politicians have their pros and cons. We pick the best in a democracy. Modi clearly is like fresh air. Call it the time or whatnot, seldom has a politician connected like he has. Before him, I saw CBN and JJ two other politicians with shades of capabilities and vision. It was just not their time. Some people would cast aspersions, some valid on CBN, but it was amazing the way he put Hyderabad and AP on the world IT map. Both CBN and J have something lacking in them that Modi has.

Think of Yudhistra, and how he alone walked to heaven, while other Pandavas perished on their way. May be Modi is not the man either, only history will tell us our Yudhistra.

In order to appreciate Modi , I do not have to demonize Rahul. :mrgreen:

That calls for organisation, not flashy leadership. Voters may yet care most about local issues. And, counter-intuitively, even Mr Gandhi’s diffidence might turn out to be a boon. Congress may try to attract national coalition allies among those wary of serving alongside the uncompromising, never apologetic, Mr Modi.

They may retweet and the network affect takes over

JD(U), public want alliance; Narendra Modi first for BJP

Nitish Kumar’s clear indication on the NDA’s prime ministerial candidate ahead of next year’s Lok Sabha elections may have put the BJP in a tight spot in Delhi but his JD(U) workers and supporters on the ground in Bihar seem visibly reluctant to break ranks with their alliance partner in the state.

And that poses a dilemma for the JD(U) leadership.

This week, The Indian Express visited eight Lok Sabha constituencies in Bihar — Muzaffarpur, Nalanda, Munger, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Darbhanga, Madhubani and Nawada — shared equally between the two parties, to get a sense of how the tensions between the two parties at the national level are playing out on the electoral battlefield.

In general, BJP workers in these constituencies were less keen to save the alliance with the JD(U) at the expense of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s claim to be projected as the NDA’s prime ministerial candidate.

JD(U) supporters, however, appeared eager to stick together even as they asserted that their core support base of extremely backward classes (EBCs) and Mahadalits would remain intact, come what may.

While public sentiment seemed to acknowledge the rising popularity of Modi, it was also clearly opposed to the BJP and the JD(U) going their separate ways as people seemed to fear it would give a window of opportunity to Lalu Prasad’s RJD.

“Both will suffer losses,” was the common refrain when people were asked about the BJP and JD(U) breaking their alliance over Modi.

“There is no alternative to Nitish Kumar in Bihar. The end of the alliance will give an unnecessary opening to RJD’s Lalu Prasad, whom we cannot trust, and even the Congress that does not exist in Bihar,” said Rajkumar Mahto of Gyodhapar, a village in the Harnaut assembly segment of Nalanda.

The fear of Lalu returning in the event of the BJP and JD(U) breaking up weighs heavily on the minds of supporters of both parties. The JD(U) is also apprehensive about whether its anti-Modi plank would be good enough to woo more Muslims to make up for the loss of upper-caste voters traditionally associated with the BJP.

“There is a sense of fear of sailing alone because we are not sure whether the anti-Modi plank alone can bring us enough minority support to compensate for the loss of upper-caste support. Minorities still have a natural affinity for RJD and Congress when it comes to national elections. We do not have that comfort as yet,” said a JD(U) district president who did not want to be identified for fear of being hauled up for his remarks at the party’s national conference in Delhi over the weekend.

Another JD(U) chief hinted at similar sentiments when he advocated that if the JD(U) called off its alliance with the BJP, it should ally with the Congress to send a clear signal to Muslims ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

“Nitish has solid credentials to attract more Muslim supporters because he has pursued pro-minority policies despite being in alliance with the BJP and the BJP has been kept at bay on issues and initiatives concerning Muslims during the last seven years,” said Shabbeer Ahmed, JD(U) town president for Muzaffarpur.

This sentiment is echoed in several villages with a substantial Muslim population.

“Lalu has been the first choice of Muslims, but if Nitish and Congress join hands it will become more than a 50:50 split in Muslim votes in favour of Nitish,” speculates Mohammed Vakil of Parsauni village which has a large Muslim population and is located on the road between Sheohar and Sitamarhi.

Other Muslims acknowledge that Nitish’s tenure has not been bad for the community but they maintain that he will have to take one major step forward to make Muslims natural allies of the JD(U) over RJD.

If Nitish wishes to woo us, he will have to break the alliance with the BJP well in time to ensure a bitter and open war of words and demonstrate his anti-Modi credentials, and also have enough time to spread the word in the community about his action and mobilise them,” said Imtiaz of Sakari, a large village on the boundary of Madhubani and Darbhanga constituencies.

Imtiaz also questioned the low political representation given to Muslim leaders by Nitish compared to that of Lalu.

But talking about the core support bases of the BJP and the JD(U), there were competing claims among party workers with one section believing that Nitish’s good governance would wean upper-caste voters to the JD(U) while another section fearing that Modi’s charisma could push EBC voters towards the BJP.

“We have moved much ahead of Mandal-kamandal politics and do not want to bring back emotional issues. Our workers are not getting provoked and want the alliance to continue,” said Nalanda JD(U) president Siyasharan Thakur.

But the thinking within the BJP on the ground is that Modi is the natural option for the BJP to project as PM. “If our alliance with the JD(U) breaks in the name of Narendra Modi, so be it,” said Manoj Kumar, the BJP’s district president of Sitamarhi which is represented by the JD(U) in the Lok Sabha.

Similar sentiments were expressed by a majority of the BJP’s district presidents, indicating the party’s reluctance to save the alliance at the expense of Modi’s claim for the top job.

True. But that needs to change, women need to be brought into center. Not for appeasement or entitlement, but as equal share in duties and rights.
Errrr....I am sorry, no offence, this comes across as a typical western outlook towards everything Indian. Not that you dont know, but women in India do it out of choice. my wife is more educated than me and was earning more than me until she decided to resign and take care of the 2 kids.

Dal (U) likely to ask for secular NDA candidate to be named

New Delhi, April 12: Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) appears set to adopt a resolution this weekend setting a deadline for ally BJP to declare its prime ministerial candidate, signalling a further plunge in ties over Narendra Modi.

The resolution to be adopted at the Dal (U) national council and executive body meetings on April 13 and 14 — Nitish’s second Delhi date in less than a month — would not only ask for the candidate to be announced within the deadline but also set conditions.

It will underline the Bihar chief minister’s position that the candidate should have “secular” credentials and “wide acceptability” in a “multi-religious” country like India.

The subtext will be that the Dal (U) cannot continue for long with the suspense over Modi and would be forced to walk out of the NDA if the ambiguity persists.

The candidate of the BJP, the largest NDA constituent, has to be later endorsed as the alliance’s face for the top job.

Last month, Nitish had addressed the Adhikar Rally, a gathering in Delhi seeking special status for Bihar as a backward state but widely seen as a show of strength, and declared he would support anyone who accepted the demand.

The statement had set off alarm bells in the BJP as it was seen as an indication that Nitish could go with the Congress-led UPA. Subsequent reports that the Centre could rework the backwardness criteria had stoked speculation that the UPA was trying to court Nitish.

The Bihar leader’s trip to Delhi this weekend is being viewed as his chance to put the BJP on notice over Modi, being projected as the 2014 prime ministerial nominee though the BJP is yet to make a formal announcement.

Delhi has deliberately been chosen as the venue for the Dal (U) meeting to send the message, apart from the formality of re-electing Sharad Yadav as party president.

“Narendra Modi is going around the country projecting himself as the BJP’s prime ministerial face. His party is silently watching everything, Leaders are showering praises on Modi while saying the (BJP) parliamentary board will take a call on the prime ministerial candidate. It is surprising,” Dal (U) MP Shivanand Tiwari said.

The BJP isn’t unaware of Nitish’s stand on Modi. But this time the Bihar chief minister is likely to get the top decision-making bodies of the Dal (U) to formally endorse his position.

Leaders close to Nitish, however, painted a grimmer picture, suggesting that upcoming meetings could kick-start the process of snapping the Dal (U)’s 17-year-old alliance with the BJP. These leaders appeared more or less certain that the parting of ways was only a matter of time.

Nitish, though, is not expected to precipitate matters immediately. He would prefer to build the tempo and carry it closer to the election. The Bihar chief minister, leaders close to him said, believes that the parting must be timed to provide the maximum mileage in terms of its impact on Muslim voters.

Nitish, the leaders reckon, is sure he cannot continue with the BJP even if it refrains from categorically announcing Modi’s name. The absence of such a declaration will still leave Modi to be presumed the prime ministerial candidate and, in such a situation, the Dal (U) risks losing decisive Muslim votes in Bihar.

“Lalu Prasad, the master communicator that he is, will go around telling Muslims that ultimately Narendra Modi will become Prime Minister and Nitish will support him. He will sound credible,” said another Dal (U) leader.

Thank you for the video. It was gladdening to see the online Hindus/nationalists come out on top and it was sublime to see that Jha boot-licker getting smacked around for his lies and abuse. The MSM is getting a taste of their own medicine these days. If they want to stay relevant they better stop their incestuous relationship with the dynasty. It is really stupid of them spit venom at Mr. Modi and gush over pappu and expect people to take their news and views as objective. They day people distrust every word from their mouth is not far off.

BJP must have been making arrangements to go alone in Bihar. If they have not done advance planing etc they do not deserve to rule India. In the MLA seats almost 50% were won by BJP therefore. Sushil Modi the finance minister of Bihar is equelly popular and can give a run for his money to Nitish. So there may not be substacial fall in 20 NDA MPs (actually JD(U)) with BJP winning good member of seats. JD(u) was not contributing to NDA outside Bihar and therefore the loss if any is limited to BJP state only. Now Nitish has to fight Lalu, BJP, INC (if Nk does not alley with them openly) and Paswan with division of votes among every one of them.

Rahul not going to Karnataka is a surprising news. I thought INC was projected to win there. I wonder the predictions of INC win are wrong and situation is not so one sided. It is also possibille that INC do not want to take any risk. Time NaMo go there. I do not know.

The Niku-BJP thing is really confusing. For them to split is gonna hurt Niku more and BJP workers seem adamant on having Mr. Modi as PM candidate. I wonder if Niku is stupid enough or has the guts to go on his own.

Most, if not all, of the establishment wants NaMo out.
NaMo does put NiKu in a tricky situation.
Look at PapaSpook going all anti NaMo.
There is fear and the establishment is worried.
So all efforts will be made to sideline him.

You are right. Manushi has been filtered. The website exists, but no links from Google. This shows the length of the dynasty's dirty hand. Google which had been sermonizing about losing their independence to work in China has now sold out to the dynasty. Shame on you Google.

Even the cheenis are discovering undercurrents of (democratic) change in Yindia... *shudder*

Narendra Modi a political star, headed for Delhi, says Chinese envoy (IE)

Why are noosepapers like India Express whose avowed loyalty is to dynasty featuring so much of NaMo news? To burn him with over-exposure perhaps? Or is it entirely public demand led?

Anyway, here're some choice excerpts...
On a two-day visit to Gujarat, Chinese Consul General in India, DR Liu Youfa, on Friday called Chief Minister Narendra Modi a 'political star' who is finding his way to Delhi for the top job.

The Mumbai-based envoy, who attended the annual Gujarat SME Manufacturing Summit today, also said he would get a crew of Delhi-based Chinese news agency to shoot Rani ni Vav at Patan and Sun temple of Modhera in August.

Liu, who took charge in January this year, said he would accompany the crew.

"We do not have many Chinese tourists here. This could be a good way to get more of them to visit this place. Gujarat is leading in economic growth, the infrastructure is better than most states," he said.

"My mission here is find local partners to bring in more Chinese investments to Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Mumbai. We are looking at bilateral trade in sectors like pharma, high-end

IT manufacturing, textiles, project cooperation in infrastructure, power, roads, port construction, tourism and agriculture," he said.
Uh-oh. What'll India's steadfast Beijing-bhakts - the CPM and lot - say now?? cognitive diss-o-nuance aplenty I can see.

Naredndra Modi supporters campaigning hard for his PM candidature on Twitter, Facebook (india today)

More yawnable 'news'. Do 'em media outlets have a naMo quota to fill? Why so much exposure? or is it just the web editions which we know have to cater tot he overwhelming preponderance of the pro-NM brigade perhaps?
With the Lok Sabha elections approaching, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's social media team has become hyper-active. And it is not just about cyber activists posting their opinion and lavishing praise on Modi and taking on his critics. Many have even initiated community web publications, compiling news and analysis published across media.{Sorta like this dhaga, eh?}

"The cyber campaign - started before the 2007 assembly polls through the BJP IT Cell - used to be a more centralised process. But the structure has evolved into a more decentralised and amorphous one over the years," said Shashiranjan Yadav, the former vice-chancellor of Kutch University and architect of the BJP's cyber campaign in Gujarat in 2007.

"Now a large number of net-savvy BJP party workers and sympathisers are actively campaigning on cyber space largely on their own," he added.

While, formally, the BJP is stopping short of declaring Modi the prime ministerial candidate, a huge campaign for him has already begun on social media.

A Facebook community page 'Narendra Modi for PM' boasts of 9,37,692 likes, while his official Facebook page has been liked by 14,88,527 people.

The activists' work, aligned with the party's political campaign, assumes extra significance since a recent research by IRS Knowledge Foundation and Internet and Mobile Association of India has revealed that out of the 543 Lok Sabha constituencies, 160 are likely to be highly influenced by social media.
