Close friends option on Facebook!!

That's a trick question. I don't find being friends via Facebook useful. I do believe in close friends and just friends. my guy is my best friend. He Knows Everything about me. Then I have close friends . They know Most everything and I know mostly everything about them too. But the rest? They are just friends. I assume FaceBook wanted to make it easier to keep your close friends on one list while you keep the other 700 on another!

Hello ram_cv, I think they have introduced this facility just only to get connected connected with our close friends deeply. I think by this feature we may get more updates of friends in the top of the page itself .

Hi Ram_cv! Your discussion gave me pause for thought. I hadn't given it much thought when Facebook first implemented the system and after reading your thoughts, I logged into my FB account and looked at my various list. They are: - Close Friends - Acquaintances - United States Air Force - Fort Walton Beach Area - Family - Pool Then I took time to think about how I came to associate with these people and concluded that yes, you are right -- this how we internally classify our contacts but I don't see any discrimination in it because, at least in my circle, everyone would agree to the group they are listed under if they knew they were being categorized. In any case, it's just an option. You don't have to use it. Cheers, Stan I can see the rationale for FB implementing the system.

I don't use it and never will even consider the option. My friends list is small so its easy for me to just read the posts for the day to see how everyone is doing now. I'm aware some people have a huge number of people on their friends list, so it might be helpful for them.

It is optional. I decided to try it out. I have no problem with choosing some friends as being "close friends," because I really am closer to some of them than others. I don't find the feature especially useful, though. It has not enhanced my Facebook experience. I would find better security features on the site to be useful. I would be happy if the way that my feed is sorted would not suddenly, mysteriously change from "most recent" to "top stories."

I don't mind at all if friends don't choose me as close friends and neither do I use the new feature. I am satisfied when the "like" and comment on my posts especially at our local FB group using our dialects wherein they love my sense of humor.

I am in agreement with you. It will eventually show who on your list is your close friend or not or who lists you as such by the way people post sometimes. For instance on one of my statuses I posted that I was out of recovery for the surgery and a few of them said they didn't even see the other statuses that I made stating that I was having surgery and they are online at various times of the day. I would then think they have their lists made and I wasn't included on their top friends list. I hope that makes sense?
