For some time now facebook has had a feature where they come up with people who have a few mutual friends with you and suggest that you may know them too. I've got back in touch with a few people this way.

Also on facebook it is possible to become a fan of all sorts of things and people and musicians and all sorts really. Over the last couple of days these two features (friend finder and become a fan) appear to have merged, and so in the "You may know" box we've started getting suggestions of people and things of which we may wish to become fans. The suggestions are generally things and people that other friends are already fans of.

So far today I have had the following potential subjects for my adoration and fandom suggested:

* French knickers
* bacon butties
* God
* strawberry bonbons
* Celine Dion
* Orders of the British Empire

I think my friends are a bit weird.
