Using
"lists" in Facebook allows you to create a post (with
or without photos or videos) and share that post with a specific list of people
that you have created, instead of sharing it with "everyone" in your
friends list...
You
must be signed into your Facebook account and Remember in Facebook you have 2
different pages: a timeline page and a home page.
· Your timeline page shows
everything you have written/posted - as well as easy access to all your
friends, photos, maps & likes (companies, groups, artists etc)
· Your home page (or wall)
shows your own postings as well as postings by those you are friends with and
comments/likes made on those various posts
