Step 1 :

Go to Chat Box that is found at the lower right side of the page and then, click on Friends List. A small window will appear, where you will be able to create a new list.
For Eg., Now i have Created lists named “My Friends” and “Business Friends”

It’s as good as blocking friends on facebook right? Nice article but I think everyone must be aware of this thing…

I think this statement is just plain wrong. The chat application in bottom right hand side is not on the desktop but on the website, the link indicated isn’t called “appear offline” but “Go offline”, and you will not “appear offline” to all your facebook friends, you will “be offline” from facebook chat completely.

This statement is very accurate. If I may bring a specific point to the table, facebook is worldwide and everyone needs to know that, second its easy for people to see this!
