Yes....when you make a "fan page" I'm pretty sure you can have unlimited friends, but not so on a regular page.
When Gavin switched over, he asked everyone to go to the new one as he would be discontinuing the original...but he never did. I still get updates from both.
MANY performers have a public and a private page. Do you think they really want us to know everything. Like....going to Starbucks on 97th; Great date with "bob" last night. Gavin uses his to promote his show, and to highlight his work on social issues.
I'm sure you know that there is always an invite to add one of your friends friends to your list. For the longest time, my "suggestion" has been to add Gavin's mom, Nancy. Makes me smile. I almost want to, just to tell her how lovely her son is...but since she sees his FB....I think she already knows! And I think his song, "For Nancy" is incredibly heartbreaking and personal.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
