No more fans on Facebook, just "likes and interests". Your fan page is now called an “Official Page” and your fans will be friends who go to a page and click on the like button to like the page. This change was introduced with the new Facebook Connections settings.
Facebook’s changes are promoting consistent features across the site and to make connecting with your brand a bit less intimidating.
- Instead of becoming a raving fan, people will be able to connect with you by just stating they like your page.
- Your Official page will be listed on the “Likes and Interests” section of their profile.
- The person who likes your page will be displayed on your page saying they liked your Official Page.
- Your Official Page’s posts will be displayed on their newsfeed.
To like an Official Page, users need to go to the page and click on the Like Button to say they like the page. If a friend sees on their newsfeed that you liked a particular page, they cannot click like to connect to the page directly.
Liking a page is different than liking a status update, picture, link, video or any other piece of content shared on Facebook.
I love this change. Do you? Would you go and see if you like my page? ;)
