Instead of asking users to become a fan of Cheryl Cole, Lady Gaga or what ever you like to follow, Facebook will let social networkers click on the “like” button in the future instead.
According to the site’s number crunchers, Facebook users already click “like” on comments, photos, status updates, etc nearly twice as much as they click “become a fan”.
They reckon changing the button will make people more comfortable with linking up to brands.
Facebook also makes money from the ads used by businesses to attract social networkers to their pages, with the average user currently becoming a fan of four pages every month.
