Facebook moves one step closer

Yesterday, Facebook released its latest improvement, the ability to sort your friends into different categories. In its aspiration to become more usable by businesses, the new lists that you can sort friends in to can now be easily mass messaged, send invitations and a few other things.

ReadWrite Web analyzes the change in a recent post. They bring up the very important part of privacy yet again. Since Facebook was created for personal and private information, there may still be things on your page that you would prefer your coworkers and bosses didn’t know. I agree with ReadWrite Web that along with the groups, you should be able to tailor the information that each individual group is able to see. Maybe this will be Facebook’s next improvement. With each step the social networking site is taking, they are moving closer and closer into a world where people can network.
