This may be a stupid question: How do you use lists?
I made some lists with circlehack.com. But on Facebook I don't see a way to share something with a list. I am puzzled...?

- phamilton 15y agoWith G+, I make a conscious decision about privacy every time I post something. Every post I decide where it goes. G+ keeps it front and center. Facebook has it 4 clicks hidden away and then doesn't make it obvious you can include lists when it says "These People: Specific People". I have never used lists on Facebook when posting (I have used them for messaging though... which I found annoying due to the limit to the number of people in a list). Circles, on the other had, I use with every post I make.
- pbhjpbhj 15y agoYou need to have lists populated. I add people to lists as I friend them so my lists are all set. From the homepage, click "friends" in the left column, then "manage friends" button in the centre. Hover over a friend and you can "Edit lists" to add or remove them from lists (at http://www.facebook.com/friends/edit/ http://www.facebook.com/friends/edit/). Once you have friends in lists then you use lists like you would an email list. From the homepage click to write a status and you'll see next to the "share" button an icon (which for me is a padlock) that allows access to the functions to limit sharing. My default is "friends of friends". Choose to "customise" your shared status and you can enter either a friends name or a list name, start typing and it auto fills. There are other situations when you can use friend lists too around the site, I think pretty much everywhere you can enter a friends name. For example if you do @listname in one of your statuses then everyone in the list will get that status in their news feed. You can activate online chat for only members of a list for example. HTH.
