Facebook Lets Users Link-In Contacts by Groups

Facebook fanboys and fangirls rejoice! We have some news…I know it’s been awhile since we covered Facbook on bub.blicio.us.

Facebook just rolled out “Friend Lists” which let you organize and manage your contacts and your social graph by creating custom groups.

Only you can see the organization, which is nice. The new feature also allows you to communicate with individual groups through bulk messaging – a very important addition for those who wish to actively engage with their contacts respective of topics and activities. You can also view status updates/feeds specific to the groups you create.

More at InisdeFacebook and VentureBeat.

Connect with me on Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, Plaxo, or Facebook.

“You can also view status updates/feeds specific to the groups you create.”
Are you sure about that? And am I the only one confused by, once you post to the group, and you start getting into responces, that it’s hard to sell if you are messaging one person, or “ALL”…
