I kinda detailed it in another post here, but I was already using Facebook friend lists for this sort of privacy control on Facebook. PLUS the new Groups feature works like Circles. I have a Group of my close friends that is closed and private. All the photos we upload there are only visible to those in the group.
The problem is, Facebook has continued to move the Friends lists feature in more and more obscure places. It used to be easy to see the list and the posts from people in that list, but now they've hidden in the account menu.
- flyt 15y agoclick "most recent" on the main "news feed" page and then pick one of the lists from the dropdown to see only stories from people in that list.
- nextparadigms 15y agoGroups doesn't work the same way. Facebook Groups works more like Google Groups. You have to actively get people to accept being in that group, which is much harder to do, and that's why so few people use Groups. With Google+ Circles, you put them in those Circles, and share what you want with them, and most people are using them like that.
- iamcalledrob 15y agoWith Facebook Groups, you don't have to accept being in a group. Your friends can do all the hard work of assembling the group, and it's immediately available to you. If you don't want to be part of it, you can leave the group. Most people I know now use Facebook Groups, but it's in a different way to how people use Circles – it's more to coordinate, plan and discuss things with a small, clearly defined audience.
