Interest Lists Introduced By Facebook

Facebook has now introduced interest lists which can be utilised to effectively act as a feeder source for news feeds arranged by subject.

Facebook account holders are now able to group either similar pages or well known individuals into “interest lists” so that they can source selective subject based content into their news feed.



Facebook boffins will of course know that the ability to build lists of friends is a well established feature of the market leading platform. However up until now users didn't have a comparable function to assemble lists of Facebook pages.

Facebook has announced that users will soon see the “Add Interests” link in their left-hand bookmarks. With this new function any Facebook user can either join other people's lists and / or build their own lists.

Interest lists will be made up of Facebook pages, friends and subscriptions. The most popularly read piece from each area of interest would then appear in the News Feed along with a hyper-link redirecting the reader back to read other related posts.
