New Media Advice for Old Media Pros
Facebook has announced that it’ll let users organize their friends into groups with different privacy settings for each group. This is one feature I’ve been waiting for since joining Facebook and that would allow me to add even more friends and acquaintances.

This may be, because at first LinkedIn made it really hard to connect, because they wanted to make micro-payments on those connections. They have since opened it up some, though I can't talk to anyone outside of my circle, while in Facebook anyone is open game. LinkedIn feels byzantine and complex compared to Facebook.
Also, It almost feels as though Facebook is trying to replace Outlook too, capturing messaging as well as contact information in a convenient place.
I think when Facebook adds friend grouping, it will take even more of a bite out of LinkedIn.

Well put, Mike. LinkedIn is indeed quite static: this is my resume and these are my business pals. Enjoy.
Facebook, on the other hand, is very dynamic and quite interactive. I'd love to see what happens when they add some business tools. The easy mix of private messaging and public walls would be a nice boost for any business relationship, provided we could keep these -if we wanted- away from the rest of our more private lives.
I'd post a lot more on FB if I could group my contacts...
The other area were grouping will help is in managing a large number of friends. Eventually people get lost in a sea of contacts and we're back to corresponding with just a few of them.
Tagging would be awesome as well, though I haven't heard any plans for that. Tags would allow you to keep groups -to set privacy levels- and tags -to categorize your friends anyway you wish. Thus, you could send an article to your friends tagged "tech," a blog post to those tagged "readers," while keeping those not in the "family" group away from your birthday pictures.
