Facebook Unveils ‘Subscribe Button,’

Facebook is rolling out a feature that introduces an entirely new relationship category to the social networking site.

Until now, users could only “friend” one another on Facebook. Starting today, they’ll also be able to “subscribe” to each other thanks to a new setting that allows individual profiles to behave more like Facebook fan pages.

A user will have the option of adding a “subscribe” button to her profile to enable people who are not her friends to see her public updates in their News Feeds, rather than having to visit her profile page directly.
