Facebook changes come in all sizes large and small, and while the new Facebook bar might be one of the bigger changes, changing the button on Facebook pages from "Become a Fan" to "Like" registers as a small size. But this might be the little engine who could for people hoping to build up their fans on the social network. Facebook contends that twice as many people click on 'Like' buttons as oppose to 'Become a Fan' buttons.
And I have to admit, while I like ice cream sundaes, I'm not fanatical about them. So as good as that hot fudge poured over vanilla bean ice cream may taste, Facebook probably has a pretty good point. But then again, if you don't mind a minor mixed metaphor (or a bit of alliteration), the proof will be in the pudding.
Why can't the proof be in the ice cream? I don't know. But I do know there is only a limited time for you to become my fan, and if you wait too long, you'll only be able to express your mild interest in my writing.
the only reason i “like” a page that my friend becomes a fan of is because i like how it relates to them, and i like that they become a fan of it. it doesn’t mean i prefer to say “like” instead of “become a fan”. and a lot of other poeple think like this too.
so what’s the problem in leaving it how it was?? a lot of people on facebook are outraged because of this new change; you should see how many fan pages there are about this – oh sorry, the “like” pages… see? doesn’t sound as good.
I, too, prefer a choice of “fan” and “like”. If FB goes through with this, I’ll be “like”ing a lot less, and personally communicating a lot more.
NOT A REAL FAN OF THIS LIKE CRAP..i THINK FB ARE OVER EXPLORING THEIR OPTIONS.
I mean we bocome a fan cos we like it but I dont think its an improvement.
