Facebook gets face-lift: instead of being a friend, you can now be a groupie!

Be the first to form a secret (in-) group on your Facebook page!

That shows you how far behind the times the NYP is. Facebook users have been able to set different groups of friends to different privacy settings for years. Almost since the very beginning, in fact.

There is a little more to it than than the old 'lists' that no one used.

yeah , i noticed yesterday that i had a new icon on my home page and a box popped up to make new groups. im not sure i have a use for this but i do like the idea that you can target posts to one group of people and a diffrent post to another.
lol if you have your granny on there you can keep her out of the posting loop about your boogie nights and not get 5th degree tongue lashing
