Facebook copies Twitter yet again

For those of you who use both Twitter and social networking site Facebook, it will be pretty clear that recent changes to the Facebook platform seem to be following in Twitter’s footsteps, and now it would seem it has gone one step further, as now Facebook recommends befriending celebrities to your account, via fan pages.

This move of course mirrors that of Twitter’s recommendations available upon signing up, and via the ‘suggestions‘ page. Now, imitation apparently is the highest form of flattery, so Facebook’s moves may be seen as simply improving the user experience, although one thing is for sure, I would suggest they change the terminology used, as for example, do I really know U2?
