Facebook finally breaks out Friend Lists
After months of prototyping and in the post-Beacon calm, Facebook launched Friend Lists, which allows members to organize “friends” into buckets, such as business, family, acquaintances, enemies…whatever phrase appropriately describes a list of people. However, the Friend Lists lack more granular controls, such as different privacy restrictions for each Friend List.
