Facebook has been rolling out a slew of changes and new options, one of the latest being its so-called smart friend lists. This feature creates lists of a user’s friends, automatically based on such criteria as work, school, family and city. Users do have some control — they can opt out entirely. Or they can use the automatically generated lists to add friends — without, Facebook promises, a lot of effort. Each of the lists has its own News Feed, where the user can see photos, status updates and other posts from the people on the list.
I feel like Facebook is really stepping stuff up! The privacy control changes are such a hilariously direct response to Google+ and LONG overdue. I'm not planning on switching to Google+ (I love Facebook Video Chat Rounds too much) but I'm all for G+ if it spurs innovation at FB.
