Facebook’s “Like”
Posted February 6th, 2011 @ 01:45pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Just a thought…
Problem:
Your friend Suzy posts on Facebook "Dad's just had a stroke! Racing to the hospital to be with him now!"
You don't have a comment, because you never know just what to say, but you'd like to keep apprised of any updates to this status. You're left with the option of clicking "Like" but, not surprisingly, that seems a bit uncool for a post like this.
Possible Solution:
A "Notify" button or some other name ("Flag" has negative connotations, and "Star" or "Favorite" is too much like "Like") that would provide updates via push notifications or that menu at the top of every Facebook page could alert you when new comments are posted.
