Facebook to Add new features

You may have noticed if you logged into facebook recently a message telling you about some up-coming features. From my brief reading, it sounded like something I had mentioned many times that should be there by default.
Groups
Facebook is great to share infomation, pictures and the like but you have to be careful of who you add. You might have read the stories of people writing how much they hate there job only to find they forgot they added there boss to the list and loose there job as a result. Facebook introduced groups a while back and this lets you put people in whatever list you seem fit – such as Work, Friends & Family. As of now, I saw nothing you could do with these lists.
The master plan
It sprang to my mind that it woul dbe great if you could post something and choose what group see this infomation, then only my family get to see the pictures of the cat while my friends get to see the dunken nights out and so forth. This is what Facebook are indeed planning from what I gather and if this comes in – i can see facebook not only been used a lot more but adding more people to the mix.
Thoughts
Will this new move along with Google Wave dampen Twitter which has limited ability to get a message across and no way to put people into groups?
