New Facebook Friend Lists Cause Some Confusion

Facebook's new profiles include the ability to share friend lists, but how they function is not completely clear to users.

Facebook’s new profiles include the ability to share friend lists.

Up until now, the contact list was for one’s own private use, effectively a shortcut for things like group invitations and the creation of different tiers of access to your profile or content.

These capabilities are still around, and you can access them by clicking “account” in the upper right-hand corner of your screen and then clicking “edit friends.”

Now you have an additional ways to access the friend list editing too: In the middle of the left-hand column your profile page, you’ll see the label “friend” and also labels for any contact lists you’ve already made.
