You can use the list tool in Facebook to set up lists of friends that you want to send specific messages to. I also use it to make a list of people I don't want to miss any of their posts. This video demonstrates how I set up lists and use it to send updates to certain people.

Multiple language...

I also made a video about facebook friends list.

My most important use of the friends lists are to divide my Facebook Friends into the different languages.

So I can post german content to my german speaking friends and english contenct for my english speaking friends and personal content to my family.

Thanks for the Great Idea!

Thanks for the great video, I have some lists set up on Facebook but love the idea of a Don't Miss It one. There are some friends and family who post infrequently and get lost in among all of the other messages.

So that's how they do it!

Thanks, that was something I was really wondering about! Great tutorial and simple but really effective. I have made lists or what I thought were just "Groups" but this is the answer to what I was wondering about "Why have groups if you can't separate your comments?"
