Smart Links Organizer for Facebook
Organize Friends, Groups, Applications and Links

By , About.com Guide

Time to get organized. Put all your friends, groups, applications and external links into folders so you can better keep track of them. Once you add Smart Links to your Facebook, you will see a folder in the left hand navigation menu that simply says "Smart Links".

There will be nothing added to your profile or to your feed. Your friends won't see it, it's only for your use to help you organize Facebook.

  1. Go to the Smart Links application page.

  2. Click on "Add Application" button on the right side of the page.

  3. Choose your application settings.

  4. Click the "Add Smart Links" button on the bottom of the page.

  5. That's it, now you can start using Smart Links on Facebook.

Using Smart Links

From your profile page, click on the link in the left hand navigation menu that says "Smart Links". If you don't see it, you may need to click on the "more" link first to open the rest of your menu. In your Smart Links application you'll see four folders, each with links in them.

Here are some things you can do with your Smart Links application:
