Facebook to let you auto-group your friends in 'smart lists'

Guess, where did they get the idea

Well looks like they are playing a bit of catch up game. I hate the new chat system.

Did anyone get the real-time ticker yet

Well, they are biggies now.. they have developer, they have money..
What they are doing is to engage more and more people with FB ...

So, FB is bringing out the feature as a result of competition, but still doesn't look it is giving complete freedom to Group ourselves....
Only time would tell, how useful would that be.

Doesn't anyone think that it is violation of privacy?

LOL, almost everything FB changes, is a Violation of Privacy. But that hardly seem to effect its userbase of millions, who might have learned to accept the perils of this monopoly of FB.

^^ Their previous changes were not as 'harmful' as this.
