Followers and friend request

On FB, you can allow your page to have subscribers, which will make it where you do not have to have them as friends but they can essentially follow your public updates. I like that because on a lot of game apps, they are unable to send requests. That is a nice feature when you have been unable to turn off the game requests.

both! haha... well for me I prefer that my friends in FB are really my friends in real life, but after having a FB page i started accepting friend request from people i don't personally know lolz :P that's because i have an online shop in FB so its pretty much part of the package to accept friend request from potential buyers. So I also prefer followers since they follow my page (",) hoping to reach a 1000likes by the end of this month haha (",)

i think followers are more used in instagram and also in twitter, in facebook we have friends and they are not called followers. :D what do you intend to ask with your discussion? was it if we prefer to have followers or friends in facebook? i think in facebook, it is a social site so you should be able to not only follow a person but interact with them online via facebook and its messaging capability.
