Twitter has officially released a new "lists" feature, allowing you to follow a group of twitter users.

This functionality has been hinted at before, but today they actually started slowly rolling it out to users.

The feature allows a Twitter user the ability to hand-pick a group of Twitter users and create a list based on that. Your list can then be found by going to twitter.com/#/username/listname and other Twitter users can follow a whole list. 

In typical Internet beta testing releases, this feature is being slowly rolled out to Twitter users. If you have access, you should see a "new" badge at the top of your Twitter home page.
