Comments on: Facebook Updating Friends Area To Simplify Friend Filtering http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/30/facebook-updating-friends-area-to-simplify-friend-filtering/ Startup and Technology News Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:06:12 -0800 hourly 1 By: Jason Bourne http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/30/facebook-updating-friends-area-to-simplify-friend-filtering/comment-page-1/#comment-3101948 Jason Bourne Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:32:52 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/?p=60746#comment-3101948 I know this post is old, i just got tried to do some 'friends organizing' and realized how stupid this is. Unless i missing something (which if thats the case, than it's still stupid b/c what i'm missing wasn't apparent enough), then the creating friends lists function has extremely limited ability when it comes to filtering friedns (which is supposedly it's purpose). Why isn't there a simple way to "add all friends from the 'blank' network" to a newly created friends list. Or "add all male friends," or "add all who graduate in the year 'blank'." It should be simple enough for me to search through ALL my friends using advanced search options like, sex, age, network, school year, concentration, relationship status, etc. (i recall that this has been available before). Then i should be able to add those results to a 'friends list.' I have over a thousand friends, and not b/c im a friend whore, i literally know or have met probably 98% of them. If i wanted to make a 'friends list' for only one network, i'd have to go through all those little picture clicking only those people in that network. Thats ridiculous. stupid I know this post is old, i just got tried to do some ‘friends organizing’ and realized how stupid this is.

Any friend details entered that didn't involve obvious categories like "High School" have disappeared forever. Every time Facebook "adds" a feature, they take away a feature <i>I was actually using</i>. I wish those fuckers would stop that.
