Facebook to let users create personal groups

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced groups will be coming to facebook this week. He stated that this will be designed to help "the biggest problem in social networking". With this people will be able to make groups for co-workers, family, friends etc with that specific interest they want to discuss "updates" about. People claimed that they would like to post about their interests but feel that they are annoying their facebook friends who aren't interested in that thing they are talking about. With this new "grouping" people will be able to share information with people who are specifically interested in that one thing. Even though facebook already has something that create subsets of their friends, they claimed that only 5 percent of people use this. They want something that more than 5 percent of people will use. Along with this will come other updates as well like "download your information." This is where you can zip everything you've done on the site.
