How to Create a Separate Friend List for Facebook

Friends do not get notified about being put on your list.

Your Facebook friend list includes a variety of people in your life, from casual acquaintances to your closest friends, and because you know some of your Facebook contacts better than others, you may not find it appropriate for everyone to have access to the same features of your profile. Use friend lists to separate your Facebook friends by likeness, and then go to the "Privacy Settings" menu to set which lists can see which parts of your profile.

Instructions

1. Click on the white "Account" link at the top of any Facebook screen and choose "Edit Friends" from the menu.

2. Click on the gray "Create a List" button in the top right corner of the page.

3. Type a name for your list in the "Enter a Name" field. The name can always be changed later if you prefer.

4. Click on the name and thumbnail of a friend to add her to the list. All of your friends are listed alphabetically by first name, and you can find a specific friend more quickly using the "Start typing a name" field at the top of the window.

5. Click the blue "Create List" button to officially create the new friend list.
