Organize Your Facebook Feed by Creating Lists

If you are on Facebook you know that over the past couple of days there have been a lot of changes made to it.  I must say I have not explored all of the changes but I am very happy to see that you can now create lists.  If you are on Twitter or Goggle+, you know you can make lists or create create circles there too.

I love being able to make lists on Facebook because they can help you make sense of your feed.  I have a lot of friends and also follow a lot of pages and over the past two months I just felt too overwhelmed by so many things showing up on my one feed.  I was losing touch with my friends and also family because of the mess.

You probably noticed that Facebook automatically created a list for friends and family for you and gave you a chance to edit it.  You can also create a list of the pages you follow and make it easier to keep tabs on them.  If you follow blogs on Facebook you can create a list to make it easier to follow their updated.  Here is how to do that:

On the left side of your Facebook you will see a section called lists.  To create a new list, hover your computer mouse over that section and click on “More:

After you click on more, click on “Create a List” and name your list. I follow a few deal blogs so I called mine “Deals.”  Then after you name it, on the right side you will see a section called “On This List” type the name of the blogs you follow that you want to add to this list.

I follow a lot of pages, so I have narrowed my lists down to “Companies”, ‘Recipe Blogs”, “Parenting Blogs”, etc.

After you create your lists, you will see which ones have any updates on the left side of your Facebook Home.  Just click on them to check who has said what and interact.  So go on and make a list of Blogs you follow and be sure to add Common Sense with Money first to that list.
