On Mahalo, when you make a "Fan" a "Friend" you lose a "Fan"! Can't you be a fan of your friends?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Well, the category "friend" includes fans. It is just fans who are fans of each other. A two-way fan relationship. I am a fan of you, and you are a fan of me. Therefore we are friends.

The term "fan" by itself denotes a one-sided relationship.

The terminology could just as easily be "followers/following" like twitter does it.

I would think that would be an easy way to over-inflate your fan/friend count... which is certainly not the purpose of these categorizations. You can certainly be a fan of your friends -- but for the purposes of having a distinct mapping between people on Mahalo, it would be rather pointless to have people be in both categories.
