Facebook's News Feed has always seemed rather arbitrary / random to me. I'd like to control which friends appear in the news feed. Is there a way I can do that using my various friend lists? Alternatives to using friend lists beside explicitly excluding people?
On Facebook can I control which friends appear in my news feed with Friend Lists?

Scroll to the bottom of the Most Recent feed and click Edit Options.  You can adjust the friends in the modal dialog that comes up.
