Enter the like button. It crept upon me slowly, but it has left its mark. I only noticed how dependant I am on liking by noticing its absence. I find my self reading forums and blogs and wanting to 'like', and finding instead that I need to use words, where I have been using the like.
What does a like say? It says more than I like your picture or I like what you say. It also says I hear you, I support you, or I have sympathy I feel your pain. It can say you are funny, or I like you. How did this like button come to say so much?
I am not really sure how or when, but I like it.
I'm not really sure when to use it either. I posted that I had dropped my mobile in the bath. A semi-tragedy for me. It got 6 likes. I was a bit offended.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to comment with a "thumbs up" icon, but I cant figure out how to do that on the computer I'm using. But I will say I did go out of my way to figure out how to post a comment on this blog. But still yearning for the thumb icon. Or a kiss face.
