But on facebook I can't be friends with Britney, or Obama, or Hughesy, or any other celbrity. on Twitter I Can (at least - I can see what they're doing.. even if they don't see me)
While I don't see that as valuable for me - some users (and I'd guess a lot of facebook users) - see that as pretty awesome.
Also - the link title is misleading - the article suggests Friend/Fan (or Friend/Follow) will co-exist.
Well, that's what Twitter is for. But Facebook is a different type of site. It's not a site for being "friends" with Shaq (or Britney/Obama/whoever if you prefer).
I mean, I can do my taxes on H&R Block's site, and that's kind of awesome (well, as awesome as doing taxes gets). But that doesn't mean Facebook should help me with my taxes.
While I don't see that as valuable for me - some users (and I'd guess a lot of facebook users) - see that as pretty awesome.
