For status updates, to the left of the share button there's a dropdown menu where you can customize who can see it.

If you're trying to write on someone else's wall, but only want certain people to view it, you're better off sending a message instead. You can send a message to a list by just typing in the name of the list in the 'to' field.

You can customize who can see any album in the edit album info tab, and selecting the privacy dropdown and clicking customize.

Hi _harr, there are only these options available while posting a status update: everyone, friends of friends, friends. And an option to customize further with lots of steps involved. The lists you create don't get visible there. Though this can be changed in just one night by FB, but that would still be an addon. The difference is in focus.

In tubri, we are focusing completely on human relations (groups) and its visible everywhere in the network.

For the wall case, we don't have any wall/scrapbook in Tubri, because we believe a user should use Private Messages for that purpose.

With groups thing as the foundation of the network, there will be more redesigns of the existing approaches to make it look more like real life network.
