How To Organize Your Facebook Friends

[RoboBlogger]

Last week I tweeted about how good it felt to finally get my Facebook friends into lists, and to be be able to view my news feed by these lists.

For instance, if I just want to see what my business, gym or Sydney friends are up to, I can do that.

A bunch of people asked me how to do this, so here you go…

How to Create a List of Friends

1. From your Home page, select Friends from the left-hand side menu.
2. Click the [+Create a List] button at the top of the page.
   –> A dialog box will appear and will populate with all your friends.
   If you have heaps of friends, this may take a little while.
3. Enter a name for your list, eg Personal Friends, Work Colleagues, Family, Business Associates, whatev.
4. Click on each person you want in the list.
   –> A blue box and tick will appear for the selected people.
   Click the person again to de-select them.
5. When you’ve selected your list members, click the [Create List] button.

And you’re done!

Repeat these steps for each list you want to create.

How to Limit Your News Feed to the Friends in a List

1. From your Home page, select Friends from the left-hand side menu.
   –> Now a sub-menu of the lists you’ve created* will appear.
2. Click a list you want.
   –> Your news feed will only show for the people in that list.

Pretty cool, huh? And so organized!
