If I were more of an artist, who was working professionally and regularly producing artistic works, then I might be more at ease with that kind of articulated relationship. I'm okay with them being fans of my projects, but not fans of me per se. Your mileage, of course, will vary. Incidentally (and ironically), speaking of projects, we didn't even bother putting up a Facebook page for our book. I just thought the minor benefits didn't outweigh the effort of maintaining the page, and the chance that I'd be flogging our book to friends and supporters who'd already heard about it in three or four other ways. On the other hand, I'm kind of haphazard about who I 'friend' on Facebook. Happily it doesn't have to be quite so literal on Twitter.
