Tweet to a smaller crowd with Twitter Circle; here is how to use
Twitter users can now use Twitter Circle to tweet to a smaller crowd. Here are the steps to create it.
Twitter recently launched Twitter Circle. It allows users to tweet to a smaller crowd. With Twitter Circle, people have the flexibility to choose who can see and interact with their content on a tweet-by-tweet basis. This makes it easier to have more intimate conversations and form closer connections with select followers. The feature is available to everyone worldwide on iOS, Android and Twitter.com. “Twitter Circle is a way to tweet to select people and share your thoughts with a smaller crowd. You choose who’s in your Twitter Circle, and only the people you’ve added can reply to and interact with the tweets you share in the Circle,” the social networking platform shared.
According to the information provided by Twitter, a person can have only one Twitter circle and contain up to 150 people in it. Before you post to Twitter, you’ll see an option to share your tweet with either your circle or your full list of followers. Tweets sent to your circle will appear with a green badge underneath. They can only be seen by those you have chosen in your circle and cannot be retweeted or shared. In addition, all replies to these tweets are private even if your Twitter account is public.

Twitter Circle: How to create and manage
You can manage your Twitter circle from your Tweet composer or the main menu. It can be noted that if you need to add or remove someone, that person will not be notified. You can start setting up, adding, and removing people from your Twitter circle using the edit button that appears when you select the Twitter circle as the audience for a tweet you compose.
