Facebook Interests Lists Offer Great Potential to Organize News Feed

On March 8 Facebook rolled out their latest new feature, Interest Lists.

Interest Lists offer the ability to categorize News Feed information into topical lists.  Groups and Public Figures can be added to Interest Lists.  The lists offer great potential to help Facebook users curate content that they want into manageable lists.

Join our List called, Social Media Resources

Facebook users have long been able to create lists to organize their friends, but there hasn’t been an option to group pages until today.

Facebook says users will see an “Add Interests” link in their left-hand bookmarks in coming weeks. (UPDATE: Currently live NOW 3/12/12)  From there, users can subscribe to lists from other users or create their own. Interest lists can include pages, subscriptions and friends. The top stories from each interest will appear in News Feed with a link to read more posts.

So what do you think?  

Are “Interest Lists” a Twitter killer?

Will you add topical lists or follow lists?
