OK! I cannot find #Title on LessWrong but based on your description it seems analogous to linking a post or using a tag?
If a user is a fan of someone who they do not have an actual connection with (usually did not meet in person for 1-on-1 and have not shared common interests), they would use the professional tag (for example, one could tag Joel McGuire if they write something that they think that he would find useful, based on his posts). The friendly tag (that has to be authorized by the tagged person) should be used when people are confident that they know their friend’s interests so well that they would recommend something that the friend would enjoy (while they may also find it useful). So, the intent difference is inform based on the user’s professional presentation vs. notify of enjoyable content based on the users’ friendly connection.
