Facebook Introduces Friend Lists In Chat

• Facebook today launched Friend List, a useful way to organize and filter your chats on Facebook. Maybe you want to be online with your best friends but offline with your work colleagues. With Friend Lists, you can group friends to more easily share with and view information from specific sets of people. You already can use them to filter your home page, send Inbox messages and manage privacy settings. From the bottom right corner of your browser, go online with Chat and choose which lists you’d like to include in the Chat pane. You can use your existing lists or create new lists directly from Chat.
• To create a new list, select the “Friend Lists” menu on the Chat pane, enter a new list name, and drag the names of people you want to include into the list. You can exclude lists from Chat by unchecking them in the “Friend Lists” menu. If you don’t want your friends grouped in Chat at all, you can simply uncheck all the Friend Lists, and you’ll then see your friends listed alphabetically.
• Facebook finally getting a little more efficient in the chat space. Now they need to work on better placement for the chat box so it doesn’t continue to interfere with that 160×600 ad placement on the right.
