How to Make a Friend List in Facebook
Facebook is a social networking site that allows you to interact with your friends in many ways. One way to interact with a select group of your Facebook friends is by creating friend lists. A friend list lets you send messages to a specific set of friends simultaneously or keep track of updates from only that group of friends. You can create many different friend lists to suit your needs, such as "Family," "Work," "College," "Church" or however you want to divide your friends up.

Tips & Warnings
One limitation on sending messages through Facebook is that you are only allowed to send a message to 20 people at a time! If you have more than 20 people in your Friends List, you may need you create more than one list of no more than 20 people each, and save them as "College Friends-A", "College Friends-B", etc., and send the message to each list of 20 friends separately.

this method doesn't work since they changed facebook; now you have to find an existing friend and select 'friends' (top right) and you can see lists from there, you can add that friend to an existing list or make a new one.

It doesn't work- the list name does not appear when I type it in although I've spent ages making 7 separate lists of 20 people!
