Facebook “Become a Fan” Changes to “Like”

Tweet

 

Facebook recently replaced their “Become a Fan” button for Facebook Pages with a "Like" button. From Facebook:

Starting today people will be able to connect with your Page by clicking "Like" rather than "Become a Fan." We hope this action will feel much more lightweight, and that it will increase the number of connections made across the site.

If you have a Facebook Page for your business, how does this affect you? Not much… You'll just notice that your "Become a Fan" button on your Facebook page has changed to a "Like" button.

Similarly, if you have a "Become a Fan box" on your website (now called a "Like box"), the Fan button says "Like" instead.

So tell me, are you a fan of the new button/terminology? (Ooops! I should have written, do you "like" the new button/terminology!)
