i really wish friendfeed would change "like" to "share"
yea im just saying change the term that's all.. - Allen Stern
This has come up so many times. But Friendfeed has been resisting it for some reason. - The Fat Oracle
I wouldn't vote for that change... Maybe an addition. I like to like. - iTad
tad but how would you differentiate btw the 2? im suggesting share because many times i don't want to say i like something to share it with others - in fact i may very well hate it but to get you to see it i have to say like - it was "cutesy" when friendfeed launched but time for them to change it. - Allen Stern
But, I like Like. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood
Allen... But sometimes I don't want 'Share' something, I want to mark my approval of something or 'Like' that it is in my Feed. - Johnny
I like like - anna sauce
Matthew - are you saying you like like you that you like the like to which you have shown that you like? - Allen Stern
Like the idea of having a share link too... one that you could use to share across all filtered list... like when you subscribe... thats would be a neat idea... you could even have it so you choose the list you want to share it with ;o) keep the like..as is, as its on each list seperate. :o) blimey...who am I to give opinions...lol.. been here a week.. but thought it was worth saying... tell me to shut if not lol. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
rob you may talk as much as you like - just look at scoble, he invades every thread and they haven't kicked him off yet! - Allen Stern
In some ways when you press like you are sharing because you bubbling up the post, on the other hand when you have liked you can reshare the entry so indirectly you are also liking it but putting it a place i.e a room where others could share and hopefully enjoy/find of relevant interest in the future. - Jason
Allen..scoble is like that everywhere tho... :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
there is a reshare option. I like both - BEX
I think the verb should be open architecture. - Dave Winer
agreed. polydimensionality. - Phil Wolff
I think we need: Like, Share, Dislike, Run away from, Laugh, Smile, Cry, Get Angry, etc. And it shows up as "Chacha102 ran away from this." "Chacha102 got angry from this." "Chacha102 smiled from this." etc - Tyler (Chacha)
I like like - Alejandro
"In the English language, the word like has a very flexible range of uses. It can be used as a noun, verb, adverb, adjective, preposition, particle, conjunction, hedge, interjection, and quotative"... it'll do :) - Johnny
and add a "dislike" or something. Sometimes people post stuff I think is important, but I don't "like" the content (e.g. Mumbai attack, etc) - Dave Hodson
Gotta be careful of overkill tho eh... :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
just change it to share - thanks! - Allen Stern
i think adding share and some other options to click would be a nice addition - (jeff)isageek
I already said it here: http://friendfeed.com/e... but basically, make an additional option of "Flag". All "Likes" would be "Flags", but not all "Flags" would be "Likes".” - Micah
Any change in the options would change the UI I'm used to, but I guess they could put stuff under More. - Rahsheen the Dream
I've thought a fair bit about the terms of "like" vs "share". There are pros and cons of each. However, when there is some bad news of some sort its very hard to click "like" when you really just want to share it because it's important... as Dave Hodson said. - Jesse Spaulding
I wish when I "shared" in Google Reader it "liked" the original article in FriendFeed. - Jesse Stay
I wish I had a robot ;) - Joe Dawson
I prefer "bump" and "mark", personally... for stuff I wanna pull back to the top for whatever reason, and then totally separate bookmarking, either public or private. - abacab
I like Like. When I Like something it's not always to share, it's so it shows up in my LIkes/ Comments page so I can read it later. Leave it alone! - Nicola Quinn
I want more than just like. Just a few more, like 'i sympathize' or 'interesting' or 'user defined.' Like lists, i want to put FF entries into lists instead of users. Yeah you could reshare into private rooms but then you lose conversation and possibly more related links. I'd pay $20 a year for that and an app like Thunderbird with tons of filter abilities. - sergiooo
I'm happy that its' called 'Like,' I'm "liking" the article not "sharing" the article, the original OP is sharing it. If you want to share it then there is a 'resahre' option for this. I don't agree with having dislike added, let's try and be positive with things instead of adding negatively to a great community here. You would only get people question why you dislike it and cause arguments, I'm not here for this. - Kol Tregaskes
Besides if you dislike something, then 'hide' it. - Kol Tregaskes
<3 like - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Funny to read the comments now the like will dominate the world:) - Gabriel Aldamiz-echevarri
