How to organise friends on Facebook, Twitter

If you have many friends or followers on your social network, it's only natural that your news feed is cluttered. You are either swarmed with photos and videos; or you miss the all-important updates from the people you really care about. Social media makes better sense if you are organised. Be selective while accepting friend requests. There is no obligation to 'confirm', since even if you don't, he or she will remain subscribed to your public posts. On Twitter and Facebook, create lists. Facebook by default gives you two lists: 'Close friends' and 'acquaintances'. 

You can add more like 'colleagues', 'business partners', 'family', 'strangers', etc. In Facebook, contacts added to 'Close friends' show up more often on News Feed. The list shows up on the left pane of Facebook. In Twitter, click on the gear button on top right. Click on the lists to see the updates of people added to it. Besides, lists also ensure privacy while posting. Click on the dropdown to the left of 'Post' and decide who all should see your posts. It's an important security precaution, to guard your and others' privacy.
