Thanks for posting and sharing. I like the way you leverage one tool for multiple things, it's very innovative! - Joselin Mane

great primer mike - mike "glemak" dunn

How do you use likes? solely as a recognition system? - Mike Fruchter

i use it exactly the way you wrote it up - w/ one addition, when a thread title seems questionable i like it but then also add a comment that says "like = bookmark" to imply that i need to read it later & that i am not stating that i "like" it officially yet - mike "glemak" dunn

Thanks Mike. For the people that use the likes strictly for bookmarking, do you ever unlike an item once you are finished reading it? - Mike Fruchter

i do unlike after read sometimes but always leave a comment on my take - might even add "dislike" if appropriate... - mike "glemak" dunn

Excellent! Thank you. - Chris Loft

No wonder you've got so many likes here! :) - Zee.

Hey you can't like your own article you cheeky guy! :) I finally got a chance to read this one and I am glad you wrote it. So many don't know this and I happen to think its a great tactic but did you know there is an FF Greasemonkey script that allows you to 'read later' too? Either way you now need to write a follow up now that the beta is out :)) Cheers - You - Roger Kondrat

ok great... great... all good... now please make replies possible for other microblogging platforms. identi.ca would be a great start... but why not plurk? are you dudes under contract with twitter? do you have some kind of loyalty to them that you are totally reliant to them? - Noah David Simon

I *like* this blog and this post! nice one Mike! - Susan Beebe

Roger, I became aware of that GM script recently. The whole dynamics change now with the new beta. The follow up is already in the works :) - Mike Fruchter
