Are you used to the new “Like” buttons all over the former fan pages on Facebook? I wanted to take some time to test drive the feature before I blogged about it and I think I’ve given it a fair go.
Do I “like” it?
Meh.
I don’t know if I’d click the “Like” button on the new changes but they aren’t the worst change that could have taken place. In an effort to make the Facebook experience more streamlined, they are using the same wording that we’ve become accustomed to when we like someone’s status. The major problem is that when we like a status update, we aren’t linking ourselves to that page and committing to receive continuous updates. Yet, that’s what happens when you “like” a former fan page.
This shouldn’t be any big deal to those that understand how fan pages work. We get it. But what about those that don’t? Are they really going to be more apt to like vs. fan a page just because of the semantics?
Would you “like” the like button?
