facebook likes vs friends vs shares

Facebook
Likes: in Facebook Liking something is showing whoever posted it that you either agree, find it funny, etc. depending on the actual post itself. These lights are only visible to whoever else can see the post as well as the person who posted it. When you like a page however it is different then liking the post. The difference is that by liking a page you are now connecting to it and can see the stories and whatever else is on your newsfeed from that page. It is as if you were adding a friend. 
 
Friends: by adding friends you're connecting with them in which you see the activity while they are on Facebook. There activity is based on what it is they are doing while on the site. Also when you add certain friends suggestions for adding new friends may appear. These suggestions are based on mutual friends that you and someone you may know both have. Friends are something you must add or if they request you, you can either confirm or deny that request. Once that is established you start sharing information between you and your friends on your newsfeed. 

Shares(Sharing): Sharing is a term on Facebook people use when they see a post they find entertaining or interesting to them. Once this are in post is established as entertaining they have the option of sharing it to their friends. And once you share something from one of your friends or a page you follow it appears on your newsfeed. Sharing can vary from links, photos, etc. Sharing is it's own option in which it differs from likes and/or friends. However they are similar but the difference is when you share something you are not connecting to that page but merely showing that you and that post share a common interest.
