Facebook launches a button "subscribe" as Twitter and Google.
So far, it had to be friends with someone to monitor its activities. Big change in direction for Facebook. Wednesday, the social network has launched a button "subscribe", which tracks direct public activities of someone without being friends with him. Clearly, as Twitter and Google +, while Facebook had so far focused on relationships "symmetric" two-way, "I add you you add me."
To add a button "subscribe" to his profile here.
Such a shift could not be imposed on users without creating a genuine popular uprising. Prudent, Facebook has now added this feature on a voluntary basis: if we want to be "followed" by unknown, it is necessary to activate it here .
Once you follow a person, his posts (only those published in mode "public") appear in our news feed. You can choose the level of detail (all posts or only some, status, photos, games etc.) that you want to see. It was already possible to seek public office, but they were not previously centralized in the flow Facebook.
Duplicate with the "pages"
This function is primarily intended for celebrities and popular bloggers, like the tech guru Robert Scoble . So far, limiting the number of Facebook friends in 5000, some created a public page that anyone could buy. With the button "subscribe" now integrated with simple profiles, it will be interesting to see if Facebook keeps the "fan pages" as is, for companies and newspapers, for example.
Robert Scoble himself has announced that it had deleted her page public to keep only a single profile, to make life easier. It is sufficient now to publish his private posts "friends only" mode and other "public".
Twitter should we worry? Probably not. This feature is part of his DNA, most people tweet so for the public. For Facebook, it may take long to change the habits of users.
