I can not tell you how many people are unaware of their friend lists. For those who do not know what friend lists are, Facebook describes them as a feature that allows to "create private groups of friends based on your personal preferences. For example, you can create a buddy list of friends who meet for weekly book club meetings. You can create lists know about all the organizational needs, allowing you to quickly view friends by type and send messages to your lists. "
There are some very important things to remember about friend lists:
You can add each friend to more than one friend groupGroups of friends will be used as "tags", as used elsewhere around the webFriend Lists can have specific policies privacy that applies to themWe refer to each one of the things mentioned above in more detail later. A typical arrangement for groups will be "friends", "Family" and "Professional". These three groups can then be used to implement different policies to protect privacy. For example, you want your friends to see photos from the party that was on last night, but do not want your family or business contacts to see these photos.
Using friend lists is also extremely useful for organizing your friends if you have a lot of them. For example, I have about 20 friend lists and I categorize people by city (New York, San Francisco, DC, Tel Aviv, etc), where I met them (conferences, past colleagues, through this blog), and my relationship with them (professional, familial, social, etc).
