What’s the difference between following someone and adding a friend?

When you add someone as a friend, you automatically follow that person, and they automatically follow you. This means you may see each other's posts in News Feed. When you follow someone who you're not friends with, you'll see posts that they've shared publicly in your News Feed.

How do I post public updates to people following me?

When you post something to your Timeline, set your in-line privacy control for the post as Public. This will share your update with the people who follow you and allow anyone to view the post.
