Hi David - yes indeedy, there is a simple solution!! You need to create Friend Lists. There are a couple ways, the easiest is this:

Click on Friends in the top blue navigation bar.
Click on Create New List.
Give the list a name, then select the friends you want to add by first starting to type in their name and they'll pop in - click on the image and it selects.
Then save.

Now, go into your Privacy settings (click Settings in the top blue nav bar, then Privacy).
Adjust which content/features gets published to which list by selecting Custom.

Also, on a different note but related to Friend Lists: on your Home Page -- you can now drag and drop your Friend Lists and the one you place at the very top above the News Feed filter will be your default view!

Hope this helps! I have a few video tutorials on my YouTube channel at youtube.com/facebookmari and my Fan Page facebook.com/marismith. Any questions let me know!

Thanks Jared, that article really resonated with me. You may have inspired yet another post upcoming about what I put in the management category and what I consider creative. I'm not sure I'd consider my social network activity management... I'll have to percolate on that a bit.

Re: Communication Tools and Levels of Interruption

geecheegirl — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:16:35 -0000

That is so true. I'd dump it if I could but it is still the tool of choice for many of my friends and family who aren't as "online" as I am.

Re: Communication Tools and Levels of Interruption

geecheegirl — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:46:20 -0000

Exactly! I tend to be away 24/7 now on IM, which I don't like, but it means less interruption (usually) and less unexpected pj-clad Skype video calls ;)

Re: TWITTER LOCAL: Twitter to Attach Locations to Your Tweets

geecheegirl — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:48:29 -0000

Yes I know what it means. ;) I should have typed "CLEARLY opt out", thinking of the average, non-computer savvy user. Remember the See All @ Replies debacle? A highly useful, favorite feature that was also set to off and yet still caused a stir because that wasn't clear, and so we all lost a fantastic feature.

Re: How can ANYONE follow 10,000 or more?

geecheegirl — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:51:34 -0000

I 100% agree with you, Chris. Though I don't do auto follow, I manually approve each person as I get time. Often I will approve people so they can DM me only. I don't have a problem following my stream because I manage my stream using groups, clients, my mobile phone, columns, tools and a judicious application of my attention. By starting filtering techniques early in my social media use, it scales for me.

I get annoyed when people announce their following system or following changes, on various services. Social Media is by design an a la carte system. It's very individual. What works for me may not work for others, and that's ok. But announcing a mass unfollow, or blogging endlessly about the "reasons" behind every addition or subtraction to a stream often smacks of attention mongering to me. It's definitely in my social media "pet peeve" column, right next to "follower systems" that get people 19,500 followers and the like, auto DMs and invitations to stupid quizzes and apps... ;)

I disagree with Robert that a follow is an endorsement, but that's because for me it is a utility. For me, recommendations on Linked In and sitting on panels with people are endorsements. Sending out a note on Twitter, Facebook, etc that people should listen to someone on a topic is an endorsement. For me, endorsement requires a conscious act, not a passive follow.

I'd love to :) Not sure if I'll be at the Expo, but NYC is only a bus or train ride away for me regardless.

Re: Influx of Twitter Account Suspensions Creating Confusion

MariSmith — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:35:09 -0000

Whew, no kidding, Holly!! That was a twilight-zone moment - I totally panicked... then felt strangely relieved when I saw several of my dear friends with big followings were down too. Have you seen the update at status.twitter.com - it was apparently human error that caused the mass suspension of bona fide accounts!

Re: How NOT to manage a community - Twitter Style.

OnkelSchark — Thu, 14 May 2009 03:21:15 -0000

Couldn't agree more. The change itself I can live with, but not the way it was communicated.
Twitter absolutely sucks at using their own product for community management / customer service.

Nice post Drew.
