Interest List has been released today by Facebook 9-3, allowing creation of lists of favorite topics and tracking them. Accordingly, users can create an e-newspaper for themselves.

Create groups through the Interests list to organize the news stream to make it easier to update information
For example, you create a list called " News " and enter the Facebook Fan Page pages you have in your account into this list to keep track of new news. In addition, it is also possible to create a "My Star " list containing your favorite stars' Facebook accounts to track their updates. Both business fan pages or personal profiles can be imported into the favorites list.

Facebook also allows you to enter your friends in your Friends list into " Favorites list ". At the same time, instead of "taking a break" with a person, you can still bring them into the " No longer interested " group in Interest List.

When a user joins a Interest List, the top news from each favorite group will appear in that user's news feed.

This is the latest move from Facebook after converting Timeline interface for business pages (Fan Page) last week. While Facebook is already in the top position, Facebook continues to provide tools to support functions according to user trends. Interest List will help Facebook keep users staying longer on the page.
