I just saw this in my gallery Control Panel. What is this exactly? How do people become "fans". And how can I add myself to someone elses site to be there fan?

    i become your "fan" if i click on "this is my friend" at the top of your gallery main page.

    your "fans" are listed in your control panel.


    it's all explained here in the excellent smugmug help section

    I understand the problem with needing a different way to refer to two groups of people - the people who like me (e.g. my fans) and the people I like (my friends) but it's really confusing the way it's done now where saying "this is my friend" suddenly turns me into a "fan". What about when the user isn't my "friend" (e.g. a commercial user) but I want to view it often? I don't think that friend or fan adequately describes my relationship to that site.

    If we stick with friend for lack of a better term, how about saying "friend of" and "befriended by" so that the root term (friend) stays the same? Then it won't need so much explaining.
