Why to click on "I LIKE" to the Artistic Pages on FACEBOOK?

Well, I got several argumentation that has generated the title and the meaning of this topic.
Because many people, as me, once they get some friend in Facebook, they invite her to visit their Artistic Page (it's my case and the case of several other musicians), and to click the button "I LIKE".

Some people thinks (wrongly!) that it's to increase the "numbers of friends" in order to collect more and more.
But, as I said: it's wrong.
Some other just laughs because she's not clear the meaning of that.
Some other thinks that's a "psychological obligation" to click on "I LIKE", violating any "ego rules" (no-ones likes to have imposed something from somebody else ... ) and she refuses to do it.

I'm aware that in certain case this may be the true. But its not in all cases and it's not in the majority of the cases.

I'm going to explain something that's not very known, especially to who's not IT and/or doesn't pay attention to some details.

Who's Musician and/or Producer and/or Composer, 80% knows the existence of websites like Reverbnation and MySpace (even if this last one lists a lot of his popularity due: not requested improvements that damaged many sites and its very very slow download speed! Mortally slow!)

Well, a site like Reverbnation is much more useful and interesting for what concerns Artistic Activity, then it's chosen by many of them (me included).

It takes in consideration also the friends on MySpace, on Facbook. It has tools to send to all friends on FaceBook and MySpace notifications of events/ concerts/new CDs or MP3s etc etc etc ... bla bla bla ...

GOOD! COOL! GORGEOUS!

BUT there is a "BUT"!

With Facebook: a site like Reverbnation, literally IGNORES the friends!!! it doesn't care how many friends/colleagues you have!!
It really ignores any your effort, creating some difficulty more.

Is it the only one that behaves so? NOT AT ALL!!! It's very common use!!!

What it's caring is: how many friends of you clicked on "I LIKE" into your ARTISTIC PAGE.
Nothing else than this!

So that: if a friend of you likes your music, and would like to be updated by you when you give Concerts or new CDs etc, well ... in the reality she doesn't receive ANY notification, if she has clicked on "I LIKE" on the link of you posted in her Board or private Message!
Indeed, it doesn't count at all!!
She has to click on "I LIKE" INSIDE the Artistic Page linked by you! ...

It means:

FIRST click on the given link, visiting the page;
Listen to the music the Artist is proposing
If it's liked: she must click on the BUTTON "I LIKE" at the top of the page.

So that it's much easier for the Musician to write just a newsletter OR to insert into the Calendar the event/concert etc and automatically to notify to all the friends the event, without having the issue to replicate several times the same information everywhere.

The issue is: people they DON"T KNOW that: only the button should be clicked!!
Then what to do? To write each one a message long like this blog in order to try to explain the reasons? being sure that no one will fully read it ?
Or just indicating clearly to click on the BUTTON: I LIKE ?
The second one is the best.
Anyway everybody is enough adult to decide, afterwards, to click on I LIKE if they like really or not.
Thus: any complains about the indication given: is useless and time consuming.

If it's true that each e-mail produces several CO2, I ask myself why people managing these websites, obliges to replicate the same things several times, when with only 1 (one) click, it's possible to cheap a lot of CO2.


Byez -.-
