In today's world you can be either 'social' or 'less social' but being 'anti-social' is a total no-no. But what if we tell you that "Yes, you can be 'anti-social'!"

Posted: 9/14/2011

On Tuesday, Facebook's Director of Product, Blake Ross, introduced a latest feature called 'Smart Lists' that will make it easier for you to categorize your friends on Facebook.

"Lists have existed for several years, but you've told us how time-consuming it is to organize lists for different parts of your life and keep them up to date," shares Ross.

First, Facebook's not-so-successful attempt to introduce video chatting feature, pretty much like Google+'s Hangout and now 'smart lists' which seems to be a desperate attempt copy 'Circles', one of the most appreciated features in Google Plus.
