Great observation. > Facebook should allow you to 'friend' a business That has the same connotations to me, how about "follow"

  Follow works even better. Now all we need is someone from Facebook to take part in this conversation...

    Facebook does allow per-page-type changes in follow-verbs. For example, you don't "fan" a politician, you "support" them. Page admins have no control over this, though, it's hard-coded per page type. So I can't imagine there's even that much work involved in changing the copy from "fan" to "follow" for certain page types (or even letting the page admin select among a few, pre-configure options when setting up the page).

      What about I want to see what Linode vs Slicehost are up to, even though I am at Dreamhost? I would just like to follow them for a while while, get a feel of who they are before deciding. Not 'support' or 'fan' them. Facebook should change their verbs.
