The only way I know of is manually one @username at a time. Perhaps someone knows an easier method?

Thanks for the comment…
Be interested to hear how you can transfer Excel date to a Twitter list!

Matt, I think you’ve missed the point. Just like everything on Twitter the names they use don’t actually reflect the functions. Followers are actually just readers of Tweets. Lists are just filters to look at Twitter streams through. In actual fact they make the follower count obsolete. There is no point in following anyone in order to receive their Tweets, unless you want a two way DM dialogue, then hopefully they will reciprocate. If they don’t then I would advise not following back. The great thing is you can make your own private lists and follow who you like through them. The only way to stop anyone following you on a private list is to block them. The question is who do you block?
Instead of writing a long article on what I think is good and bad about lists or how I feel Twitter can still be improved. I will leave that for a blog post of my own.
Finally, I will state the obvious. You are sitting on an Excel Spreadsheet containing all of the raw data for excellent travel industry related lists. Please publish them on Twitter and share them. I am guessing but its likely that all of the people who submitted their names to your list will follow it. I certainly will.
