I agree, it's just one more way to connect with people who might be interested in your work. I have family and friends that aren't for whatever reason likely to comment on a blog post, but would be willing to continue the conversation on Facebook. That's great and as a blogger, that's what I think my job is ultimately: to start conversations (of course mine tend to be more on the canned meat side than yours do!)

In the beginning my facebook fans were all people I either knew or were familiar with through the whole blog commenting circle, but now when I look at the list, there are many folks I don't recognize. I'm guessing that they probably don't want to friend me and have me be privy to their personal lives to keep up with my blog and any "extras" I throw up on the fan page, which is completely understandable and groovy to me.

And you know, I'm starting to have as much fun with the fan page as Twitter. I put links up there I think folks that would like my blog would like, post photos that aren't quite deserving of a post of their own but still fun to share, 1980s videos, lots of little things. 

My new project is managing a friend's fan page and seeing if I can help him reach his goal of building a community on Facebook. Should be fun!
