A few years ago the “like” button was more of a bookmark; now it has evolved into a signal of approval. Twitter changed the icon from a checkmark to a heart on Tweedeck, for example. I’m pretty sure that there are users who still think of it as a bookmark (but I don’t know anything about the guy in the article).
- lliamander 6y agoOften I see the "like" button used as a means for amplifying something that is noteworthy. For example, lots of people "liked" stories that reported on the riots of this past summer, but I don't think anyone would argue that this was somehow an endorsement of the events reported on.
- leephillips 6y agoThat’s another important point.
