Bangalore: Until today the only way to connect with someone's personal Facebook profile was to become friends. But now there's another option. People can subscribe to see your public updates in their news feed, without adding you as a friend.
The Subscribe button also lets you hear from interesting people you're not friends with, like journalists, artists and political figures.
Friend vs Subscribe
One can see the public updated without adding as friend. If someone has opted to include the subscribe button on their profile, you can subscribe to see their updates without being friends with them.
The subscriber cannot comment or tag photos and videos, also cannot view wall post and contact information. The subscriber can only view public updates.
