I'm thinking of a new feature: "Super-Like". That catch is that you can only do two super-likes per day.

Royce Mathew, Marco(aureliusmaximus), Michelle Martinez and 50 other people liked this
I, uh, super-like it...
- Chris Reed
Really-Like, Ubber-Like, Rockstar-Like, Love-it, Worship could be better names - Super-Like sounds like something a 14 yr old would say.
- martin ollman
: ) @m.ollman interesting thought you have! And now that s my turn: "Super-Like +16" : ) We need a AdultFriendFeed in near future i think :))
- Erhan Erdogan
I super-like 'Love'.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Even better, charge us $1 to use it and put the money in the kitty for a beer fest.
- Robert Scoble
I've been going back and forth whether we should include a "hate" feature - or, more accurately, an "acknowledge" feature. For example, if we read a compelling story about family abuse in Austria, I feel bad saying that I "like" it.
- Ontario Emperor
do you "like" it or "like like" it?
- Alex Haar
What about liking comments?
- Glenn Slaven
what does one do when he encounters a story that is worth sharing, but doesn't "like" the premise of it? how about a customizable "like," sort of a fill-in-the-blank (i.e. grantfox laments/abhors/loves/super-likes/etc.)? if i have to "like" another red sox story i might go on FF strike...
- grant fox
@Glenn liking names? :p
- Erhan Erdogan
It's a step in the right direction but - only if you and the other 3 founders agree - you really should (I think) build out the stats features. You have a variety of small tools to filter out noise, but no good quick way to slice and dice posted information, especially in terms of popularity etc. Even a rating/feedback system (which I realize might turn into a popularity contest which would defeat the purpose) might be one option.
- Alex Hammer
i like it, will you be able to do downgrade a superlike to a simple like if something you superlike more comes up?
- MG Siegler
http://friendfeed.com/e... : ) I will buy the domain Adultfriendfeed.com; who will help me for project? Scoble?
- Erhan Erdogan
@Ontario Emperor: I've the same conflict myself. Perhaps 'Appreciate'?
- Akiva Moskovitz
Super-Like feels like McDonaldization of FriendFeed.
- Atul Arora
While reading an item on Scoble´s Friendfeed page regarding Marissa Mayer trying to kill Google Reader (one of the products I really use a lot) I noticed that i had a problem with this "like" feature in Friendfeed; I find this news about Marissa Mayer "interesting" but i was somehow hesitating to give it a "like" in Friendfeed. And very few of the others did "like" this news either. The Friendfeed tag could be renamed to "interesting" (along the lines of Flickr´s interestingness).
- peter huesken
I would definitely add a "like" to a couple of the comments. A customizable tag would be cool but probably impractical. So I think (as someone mentioned) marking a post/comment as interesting or appreciate has a better semantic connotation.

I remember my bet again. http://friendfeed.com/e... But i lost it : )
- Erhan Erdogan
ooo... then you could sell likes, and they could be like little icon gifts, and... er, nevermind :P
- Adam Lasnik
What about commenting on likes and super-likes ? What about permlinks for comments ? What about threaded comments ?
- peter huesken
I'd like "Like" - "Love" - "Hate" ... Hate works like "like," but something you disagree with. | edit: eh, "Hate" may be too strong... how about "Dislike"
- Vince DeGeorge
Ok this counts as 1 of my SUPER LIKES :-) (feature must include a BIG happy face :-)
- Susan Beebe
Well, basically you want a rating system. How about "Like it", "Love it", and "Genius"?
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Adult FriendFeed :) Ha.
- edythe
@edythe Guess smthg, how many people will subscribe to you at the adult one ? : ) I think Arrington or Scoble won't have any chance at this :D
- Erhan Erdogan
How about a VOTING system with 5 stars - you can click 5 stars for awesome!
- Susan Beebe
Stars are too much work. I have to do those over on FastCompany.tv and I far prefer the simplicity of a link I click on. Plus it works on iPhones. Stars? Too difficult on that UI.
- Robert Scoble
I kinda like that :)
- Deepak Singh
I dunno, I think it's kinda so-so. Maybe I like it, a little bit. sorta.
- Jason Wehmhoener
That's what you think! Super-Like x1000. In yo' face!
- April Buchheit
Yeah..yeah..and when you super like 10 others, you get a whole new set of super-likes with little cute characters! Invite 20 people to super-like and unlock 5 super-likes a day!!! Oh wait..this isn't Facebook. Make it so.
- Bwana ☠
Nice feature as long as we can get a "top super-likes" page.
- Mike Reynolds
I guess that if you don't "like" the item, you can just make a comment. It has the same effect. Being able to reply directly to a comment would be great, the conversations would be easier. I'm not a fan of the "stars" system, though. Report as SPAM. That would be nice too.
- Alejandro
Why don't we just admit Orwell was right and start using "good," "plus good," and "doubleplus good?" Or count the number of "likes" something gets. You could call it a "digg" instead of a "like."
- Karim
Oh wait, is "digg" taken?
- Karim
Limit it to 1/day and call it “LOTD” — Link of the Day.
- Amit Patel
brilliant!
- Aviv
Crap, I just realized @Chris Reed said what I was gonna say. Paul - Go for THREE.
- Charlie Anzman
Make it. and for experiment puposes..make it paid
- Varun Mahajan
please, make it so. and a "silver bullet like" that you can only use once per day
- Charles Hudson
Will this allow you to un-superlike? if so, that might be a problem as some people would abuse it.
- Mark Krynsky
"LOL" button on Fridays
- Aviv
@erhan erdogan: i'll bet you cash money that Arrington and Scoble would *both* get better prospects than me on Adult FriendFeed! and I am with @Aviv about an "LOL" button on Fridays. Because it kind of made me LOL.
- edythe
edythe: what's Adult Friendfeed, btw?
- Aviv
@Aviv: ha. Erhan Erdogan thought there should be an r-rated (x-rated?) version of FriendFeed -- if you go through all the comments on this post, you should be able to follow the thread. I think he's actually gone out and bought the domain. :)
- edythe
Double-Plus Like! Like++
- Ashton
Unlike Like-- hide-with-prejudice
- Ashton
Super-Dee-Duper!
- Ashton
one thing i was thinking about the other day was separating out the 'like' and 'share' functionality a bit. the combined functionality worked really well when the network was smaller, but i feel like i get a lot of items in my feed that people 'liked' rather than 'loved'. (and i just end up muting them which is a shame as it sidetracks my new item discovery a bit..) maybe super-like (aka love) could over rule like hiding preferences...
- Alex Gawley
I think 'super like' sounds weak, maybe go along the lines of 'highly recommend' !
- Joe Dawson
The problem with super like is keeping all the comments in continuity. At first you super like jumping over tall building, but later you decide to super like flying.
- RAPatton
That sounds cool - I'd also like to request a don't like... There's been a couple of times I could have used that
- Paula Hawk
Levels of liking-ness (this has gotten very abstract) can be annoying to manage. Separating "like" from "save" or "star" might work. You can like something but not enough to hold on to it? Users could filter out stuff from other feeds that isn't liked by a threshold of people or saved or starred by anyone? It's worth exploring the thought in general, as all of these low-barrier-of-posting services can reach deluvian proportions quickly.
- Justin Duewel-Zahniser

@Paula you could hide the story if you don't want to see it!
- Joe Dawson
Thanx Joe, It's not that I want to hide it, just want another way to voice my disapproval! :)
- Paula Hawk
"Star This" would be great because I always lose a blogable(?) link I saw earlier but couldn't find later...
- Anthony Farrior
I like the simplicity of like.
- engtech
How about keeping Like the way it is, but creat a Hot 100 page of the most liked and commented on based on a rolling 24 hour period. Perhaps Casey Kasem could count them down.
- RAPatton
A couple thoughts. If someone super-likes something, I assume that means other users should understand that of all the content to read, the super-liked content stands above it all. Time-constrained members could focus only on the super-likes? Right now, the number of likes and comments serves that purpose in some ways. Also, if there's any notion FriendFeed has of creating some sort of "what's hot" list, would super-likes count more than regular likes and comments?
- Hutch Carpenter
Maybe after you "like" something the "like" button would change to a "double like" so you could express more liking of the content... counts as an extra like... maybe you get a platinum smiley?
- Ross Miller
I mark this post double plus good.
- Justin Duewel-Zahniser
from twhirl
Fantastic, fantastic suggestion..
- Matt Harwood
Honestly, I'm not a fan of the concept. Unless you're using it to rank/sort posts.
- Bill Bittner
how about this feature - I wanna put my friends(selected) likes as my likes. I mean likefeed [ subscribe to likes ]
- Nayan
how about key board navigation for FF......
- sirishkumar
super-like sound so facebookish. I'm sure that'll raise a younger crowd!
- Alex von Halem
Agree with Alex, it sounds like 'super-poking' and all similar other facebook stuff
- Ronald
Most of the users of FF are so advanced and probably high profile. I don't think they (we) will bother with super-like, send-me-super-like, send-your-friend-super-like or any other Facebook style features. :) Alex is right, it sounds so facebookish.
- Arda Kutsal
from Alert Thingy
@Arda: I would hope that one goal of ff is to get to the masses, a la other successful social networks... I for one am still waiting for Tila Tequila and Obama girl to get their feeds started.
- grant fox
http://spock.com tried a fancy "Spock Power" thing...would give Scoble even more weight! I like Scoble's simple is easier answer (esp for mobile phones). At last night's Silicon Valley Innovation Institute http://svii.org, I was asking BrightIdea's CEO if his business clients preferred only "likes" or both "likes/dislikes"(It varied), and discussed "liking systems". http://brightidea.com Evening's discussion was Social Networking as used by businesses. Dreamfish http://dreamfish.com was also there.
- Mitchell Tsai
I think I like systems with just "likes." If there were "dislikes" they'd just be used by jerks to try to hurt other people. I don't think it'd reduce noise in the system. It'd be like building a roadway with potholes.
- Robert Scoble
We had a discussion of how "likes only" seems to support brainstorming, but evaluation phases of innovation might need "rating systems or like/unlike". I wonder if REALLY popular FriendFeed threads might be able to use a "moderator"; e.g. just the Top 10 threads of each day or Top 100 threads of the month... (perhaps you could turn the moderation feature on/off depending on your mood). There was a "Second Life" book which talked about "un-like" wars on newbies. "Like/unlike" gone crazy in "Second Life".
- Mitchell Tsai
As soon as I see "Like" and "Really Like," I'm going to start using one or the other. "Really like" waters down "Like," turns it into a pale, bland complement. Why would I use "Like" if I can "Really like"? I vote to keep the current, simple system.
- Brent Newhall
Brent: I "really like" your comment. Good point. What I'd rather have is a filtering system so I can see only those items that have two "likes" or more. I guess that already is a "really like" system. It just requires two people to be involved.
- Robert Scoble
How about a Slashdot-like system where you can set your personal threshhold to (A) 0-5+ "likes" (B) 0-5+ "comments" (C) ignoring/include comments written by the "poster" (D) temporary hide-lists #1-10 which you can select from a pull-down menu (E) semi-permanent black-list?
- Mitchell Tsai
Or have a way to search on most commented/liked stories in a set range 0-12, 12-24 etc for a set period as well. Otherwise you would have old stories continually bumped to the top! Edit just seen by @Louis Gray that FriendFeedMachine serves this purpose!
- Joe Dawson
I like this idea. This could be a great "noise cutting" feature.
- Brandon Titus
I like it the way it is. I don't like the idea of having something like a "superlike" that you have a limited number of.
- Tanath
why not let me like any number of times.. but sequence the likes of a day and show the community's top 2 or 3 likes of the day -check http://www.namastenetizen.com/collato... for a possible UI..
- Kishore Balakrishnan
That's what you get when you ask early adopters for their opinion, 100 cool nasa-like solar powered, infinite proof mathematical algorithms to be able to annotate you enjoyed a particular piece of content. I'd be very careful what you ask for Paul ;-)
