Organzing your Facebook friends into "Lists' will make Facebook much more useful for you, and may, in fact, save your sanity.
From the Facebook home page, you create "Lists" and put different people on different lists. Then drag your "A-List" to the top, so by default those are the only folks you see when you first open Facebook...
On your Facebook home page, look at the left column ...Right below the list of icons in that column, you'll see a link that says "More"... Click on "More".
At the bottom of the expanded list, click "Create New List" (If you don't have a lot of stuff in the left column, you'll see "Create New List" without having to use the "More" button.)
After you click "Create a New List" a box will pop up displaying all your friends. Create a name for the list, then work thru all your friends, selecting just the ones you want to appear in your new list of update feeds.
When you've finished selecting friends to this list, click "Create List"
That new list will now appear at the bottom of the icons in your left sidebar column. Click on "More" again to expand the list.
Once the list is expanded, you can drag the icons to different positions in the list. If the list you just created is your "A-List", drag it to the top of the left column sidebar. The list that is at the top is the one that will display by default when you open Facebook.
To read what's in the other lists, just click on the list title.
Using this technique, you can make separate lists for special friends, family, business friends, Active Rain friends, people in a particular club or group, church friends, people working on a particular project. etc., etc., etc....
