A powerful privacy feature
One of the most powerful Facebook privacy features is the ability to create
specific Lists of Facebook Friends. Once you’ve created a List, you'll be able to
aim information only to the people on that list (in effect, a “white list”). You
can also block people on a list. You could, for example, have a list of just your
close friends and relatives. You could have another list of people you’re
inviting to an event so only people on that list get photos from the event (and
those not invited won’t feel left out).
To Create a List
1. Go to your Friends page by clicking on Friends in the left column of your
home page (below your picture)
2. In the middle column (just below the blue status bar), you’ll see a
button called Edit Friends. Click on that button.
3. Click on the + Create a List button, just below the blue status bar.
4. Give the list a name and start typing the names of the people you want
in that list, then click Create List when you’re finished.

Now, when you type in content, you can click Customize and type in the list
name. You can also go back to your privacy settings, click Customize for any
category and type in that list name to restrict access to just people on that
list. Later, you can add or remove people from the list.
