How and why to make a list of friends on Facebook

Recently I realized that I was losing track of what my closest friends on FB are up to and that it was time to make a list of just the friends I’m closest to so I don’t miss them in the information overload which is the news feed. One could create a list of friends, fellow activists or people who post interesting things. Here’s how I did it step by step.

Account/Edit Friends
+Create a List
Give the list a name and start picking out friends
Save list (you’ll be able to add/edit it once you’re viewing it again)
Click on the FB icon on the left side of the screen
Click top middle – Most Recent (that’s a pull-down menu which should show your new list or a list of lists you have made – choose your list)
If you bookmark the URL above, you’ll be able to easily return to this view at any time without taking all of these steps.

Enjoy your new view of your friends. You’ll probably learn quickly that this new list doesn’t change as quickly as all of the information on the news feed, but the information seems rich in a way that the news feed’s doesn’t. IMHO.
