Earlier this week, Facebook announced that it would be adjusting the functionalities surrounding the management of friends. A logical response to the arrival of Google+. Thanks to these new functionalities, the user will have much more control over who sees what. As of this week, it is easier to organize friends into lists and thus ensure that only certain groups of friends see specific information. News overviews of certain groups can also be viewed at a glance and your own profile can be closed off for certain groups (lists).
Smart Lists
Facebook introduces Smart Lists, automatically generated lists of friends based on your relationship with your friend. For example, a Facebook user's high school can be used to automatically create a specific group of former classmates. This group is automatically composed of Facebook friends who also attended the same school. The Smart Lists consist of work, school, family and place of residence by default and can be adjusted manually.

You can set notifications based on a list; this way you always receive an email when a friend from a list posts an update.

So they can see who is in your lists and with whom the update has been shared.
