Create a group
There are several types of groups in Facebook. I'll show the creation of each of them.
Create a List (basically a subgroup from your group of friends)
Screenshot 1) Friends > Create List (from left nav) > lightbox pops up
Screenshot 2) Highlighted are friends I am choosing
Screenshot 3) New Group " Core friends and family" now in left navigation

Positives:
- Like the use of pictures to identify as you are choosing.
Negatives:
- Not clear enough feedback that list has been created. Currently only shows up in list to the left. Could be highlighted or something else eye catching.

Tag Notes (create an implicit group of those invited to view your note)
Screenshot 1) Creating a note. You can tag people in the note and they become an implicit group that gets alerted about the note. It does not restrict access only to that group though.
Screenshot 2) Autofill in the tag using your friends as the selection list.
