Show HN: My silly twist on the Facebook Like button
- guynamedloren 16y agoEither this is more complicated than it should be, or I am totally missing something... Is there anyway to actually "Like" what you submit (besides waiting for it to show up in the random stream)?
- fezzl 16y agoHi, you should be redirected to the page that you created after you click the button. However, you have to manually click Like once you're at that page.
- guynamedloren 16y agoOh, right. I see it now. But it doesn't seem to be posting to my facebook..?
- fezzl 16y agoOne weakness is that it wouldn't post it automatically. I believe that it's against Facebook's policy to auto-Like something for visitors. So, clicking create would create the entry, but not Like it yet.
- guynamedloren 16y agoI acknowledge that. I meant to say that it doesn't even post when I click the "like" button, even thought I am logged into facebook.
- chopsueyar 16y agoWith a left, and then a right... you were both Zuckerpunched.
- makeee 16y agoI made a site similar to this right after the like button was released. Grew to over 2 million visitors a day in 4 days.. then facebook started blocking sites that used the like button without any real content.. So if this grows don't expect it to last very long.
- fezzl 16y agoThanks for the heads-up. There's a similar website called Hey I Like, it's a Facebook app. They still seem to be around after months. What was your concept?
- makeee 16y agoYeah noticed that.. it was exactly the same as Hey I Like. My only thought as to why facebook is allowing Hey I Like to stay up is that they're getting a portion of the ad revenue (since it's a canvas app).
- guynamedloren 16y agoWow, that's some insane traffic. Care to share how you promoted it? I'm assuming you did a bit to spread the word and then it went viral...
- makeee 16y agoDidn't take much to get going. Posted it to a few smallish facebook pages I had. Day 1: got a few thousand visitors, day 2: over 100,000, day 3: over 1 million..
