This Secret Twitter Hack Creates a Twitter List Out of Everyone Who Mentions You

Something cool happened when I was tweeting with my buddy Thomas Marzano.

Marzano added me to a list called "IFTTT Engaging Followers".

But that's not the cool part.

The cool part is I was added to the list automatically.

Marzano told me he created an "IFTTT recipe" that automatically adds users to the list when they mention Marzano on Twitter.

And he told me it's super easy to do. So I did it and wrote this blog post on how!

It's stands for "If This Then That" -- and it lets you create powerful automations (called "recipes") between different apps & services.
