Fan Pages

Once upon a time Lady Gaga had greatest number of fans on Facebook, no more. Eminem has surpassed her with just a small difference.

Eminem, 38, is has over half a million ‘likes’ a day, surpassing Lady Gaga. If he continues to do so ,very soon he will be ahead of Michael Jackson fans. 😛 Wow!

Lady Gaga was at the top for 8 months on Facebook. She now has 28,856,359 fans whereas he’s got 28,864,014. There is just a small difference here. Well, just for you info President Obama has only around 15 million fans on Facebook. Ha ha !

This stat makes me feel that people follow celebrities or singers more than the real big personalities. What are your views ? Who do you like more, Lady Gaga or Eminem or Obama ? Do you think Eminem will have more fans than the legend Michael Jackson ? Share your views with me here.

One of the major but expected changes in Facebook has been that there are no Facebook page fans. A fan is converted into a ‘Like’ and that has started a debate amongst Facebook users if doing away with ‘fans’ was the right thing to do.

It has been explained in numerous debates that Facebook prefers us using ‘Like‘ button instead of ‘Become a Fan’ as people are more likely to click on Like than any other option given.

This makes perfect sense of Facebook to start really working on earning revenues from their users.

Pros and Cons of Like Button…

I think for user owned pages like Facebooknol’s Facebook page we might not really mind the ‘Like button‘ as it will probably get us more followers.
When it comes to community user owned page like lets say the community page of a famous book, musician or author then people might prefer to be fans rather than having a ‘Like Button’

I think like previous arguments against changes with Facebook re-designs, this negative vibe to the Like button instead of Fan Pages will also die a natural death.

As long as Facebook has a simple interface that works and allows people to share things easily with their friends and also allow virtual farms and gangsters with Framville and Mafia Wars, people will still flock to Facebook in their millions everyday.

So what is your opinion on the new Like Button for Facebook Pages? Do drop in your comments.
