“Become a Fan” on Facebook Fan Pages replaced with “Like”. Why?

Facebook introduced a new feature to make your profile more dynamic and more connected with what you like. You can now connect the pages of your likes and interest with your Facebook Profile. Certain parts of your profile including current city, hometown, education and work will now contain connections. These connections are actually pages (The pages you are connected with) so your profile will become more connected to the places, things and experiences that matter to you.

Editing Connections on the Facebook Profile

When you next time visit your profile on Facebook you will see a box appear that will recommend pages based on your interests and affiliations. You can either connect to all these pages or choose specific pages. If you would like to add more connections to your profile, just click “Like” on any Facebook page.

Facebook Profiles no longer are static list of likes and interests, Facebook made it more dynamic with this feature.

Facebook is gradually rolling out this feature over a course of few days, so it might not be available on your profile at this time.

    Somehow I don't like these like buttons as they are confusing and very tiny.. I'm sure Fb team will change it to bigger version soon..
