In a move to add even more functionality to their site, Facebook has quietly rolled out Friends grouping. This long expected feature enables you to make different groups of friends such as "High school buddies", "Co-Workers", or "Ex-boyfriends".

To start making your own groups, simply log into Facebook. Next, click on Friends in the upper nav bar and you'll see the option to start creating new friend groups. Simply name a group and start typing in the names of those you'd like assigned. It is also pretty easy to select multiple friends at a time by clicking on "Select Multiple Friends". That way you can also select your buds by their pictures.

Facebook friend groups allow you to send messages to specific groups. However, what is missing is to control what information is available from your profile. For example - do you really want your co-workers seeing those drunken photos from the party you had last weekend? We thought so.

Even though its great Facebook has given us a little bit of added functionality, we're waiting for the whole package. They aren't going to be able to compete with the likes of LinkedIn when it comes to attracting a 'professional' audience until you're able to filter content based on your groups. Why is this? Ask the guy who lost his job after his boss found the photos available in his Facebook account.
