Short Thought #245 (“Top Fan”)

On Facebook I follow a few famous people, not because I think we’re going to be friends but because I appreciate their comments or photos.  I am very liberal with my “likes” on posts (this requires merely pushing a button which essentially is saying “thumbs up”) and as a result Facebook has offered me a couple top fan badges as in “You’ve been recognized as one of [Famous Person’s] Top fans. Get your badge now.” This, from what I’ve seen, would make a small icon with the words top fan appear next to my name. I have not taken Facebook up on this dubious achievement.  All I really think it likely suggests to the celebrities is “top stalkers.”
