Thank you for giving me stuff to fill my blog with. With this post, I Have more than 3000 views.

Facebook’s new Improved Friend Lists feature has a striking resemblance to Google+’s Circles. Co Incidence, or desperate Facebook? I think it is the latter.

Facebook Says –

This week, it will be easier than ever to see more from the people you care about and simpler to share with exactly the right people using Friend Lists.

Seriously Facebook? What about Circles?

To make lists incredibly easy and even more useful, we’re announcing three improvements:

  1. Smart lists
    • – You’ll see smart lists that create themselves and stay up-to-date based on profile info your friends have in common with you–like your work, school, family and city.*
  • Close Friends and Acquaintances lists

  • – You can see your best friends’ photos and posts in one place, and see less from people you’re not as close to.*

  • Better suggestions
  • – You can add the right friends to your lists without a lot of effort.*

  1. Oh Wow. Smart Lists! So helpful! /sarcasm

  • Close Friends and Acquaintances Lists. Just added a ‘Close’ to Differentiate it with G+

  • Better Suggestions- Doesn’t it already exist?

Smart ListsManaging lists is boring. That’s why smart lists do the work for you. To start, we’ll offer you smart lists for:

1. Work

  • School

  • Family

  • City

For instance, if you list Boston College as a school you’ve attended and your friends John and Sarah do too, then you would instantly have a smart list called “Boston College” with John and Sarah on it. This means that if you’re having a grad party or a college reunion, you can easily share photos with just your college friends, without bothering other people you know.

You can also add or remove friends manually to make the lists even more accurate.

“Managing Lists is Boring” – They Finally Realized, Circles are Damn better.

“You can also add or remove friends manually….” As if it was not obvious :/

  • Close Friends and Acquaintances Lists

  • Close Friends list – Add your best friends to your Close Friends list and you’ll see everything they post in News Feed. You can even jump straight to a view of your News Feed that only shows their photos and news. You can also receive notifications when they post updates, so you don’t miss anything important.

  • Acquaintances list – Add friends like old classmates or business contacts to your Acquaintances list and you’ll see less of them in your News Feed. We’ll still show you important things they post — like when they get married or move to a new city — so you don’t lose touch completely.

“Close Friends List” – Same with Circles!

And that what I sum it up too. You may have a different opinion, see the official post if you think you do.
