Small FYI: Facebook Like button
Wanted to start a new series of videos where I riff on small things but allows me to blog more often, here is the 1st! The changing from Like from “become a fan” is a very interesting play as I discuss here. What are your 2 cents?

  1. betterthanaverage answered: I think it’s a bold move that facebook took. I like it. The “like” button in an easy way for people to click on without feeling obligated.
  2. mikeinaurora answered: Cool Change to facebook, I have to check it out.

    pages becoming MORE important than...brand’s own homepage?
  4. warstopper answered: I agree with the less commited aspect of it, but what if you’re truly a FAN of something? Maybe we need a comprimise?
  5. derrickbradley answered: I don’t like them, at least, not yet. Feels disingenuous. I don’t need weak ties on Facebook, I need strong ones.
  6. chriskalani answered: Well, you kind of changed my mind about it actually.

  11. martinpigg answered: I prefer “connect with me” to “become a fan” or “follow me.” Connecting is about community building and the other two feel arrogant to me.
  12. yankeelake answered: I think that Liking instead of Becoming a Fan is a BAD IDEA.
  13. jelliff answered: I agree that the “small shift” has a very big impact…But I wonder if this impact is going to mean more blatant adverts / annoying people?
  14. hanseich answered: How come your facebook account still says “Become a Fan” on my computer though? yfrog.com/jypictu…
  15. liadarivajewelry answered: I agree with you Gary, it’s all in the wording and how something is communicated that determines whether somebody will accept it or not.
  16. chrisarts answered: I agree Gary, this is Facebook’s most recent intelligent site change
  17. keremmermutlu answered: great post. keep it up gary!
  18. benschel answered: I think you’re absolutely right. The meaning behind those two words, like and fan, are very different and I think it will have a big impact.
  19. philbegnett answered: nice idea. you need to change the code on your blog then Gary!

  21. antwondavis answered: Hey Gary, please do videos more often. I don’t care if it’s 10 seconds. Your insight is so needed.
  22. murphguide answered: Here’s my 2 cents:
  23. michaeljung answered: I don’t like it bc it’s confusing with Like for an item posted by a friend appearing in the newsfeed.
  24. lukeirvin answered: I really like this move. It makes much more sense and I think it will capture a lot of people’s attention to Fan pages, may even start ideas
  25. diegoguadarrama answered: I was hoping you’d start vlogging on SM news. Good stuff!
