Youtube has the subscriber. Facebook has the fan. And, Twitter has the follower. And, even Google+ says someone is 'in your circles'. So why don't they just all say these people are fans? Why use so many different or confusing names?
Noone wants to look like a copycat, so they all have different names for the 'fan'. Whatever they are called, the fan is the person that will usually like, subscribe or share the content.Noone wants to look like a copycat, so they all have different names for the 'fan'.

I agree because to me, those terms are practically the same in meaning. When you are a fan then it is silly if you you are not a follower and vice versa. With subscriber, that means you want to be notified of the posts or the uploads of a certain user. And if you are not a fan then more likely you are not a subscriber. In other words, being a subscriber and a fan and a follower means the same thing. Maybe just a play of words.I agree because to me, those terms are practically the same in meaning.

These are the various roles of the audiences or participants in social networks. Every brand manager should learn the value of presence in a social network. For each social network to stand out and to be distinguished by users.These are the various roles of the audiences or participants in social networks.
