Ask HN: What's a cooler term than "Like" for my new social directory?

1 points by starter 15y ago

Over the past 6 weeks I've put together a new social directory. Now looking for ways to structure the whole upvote/like/+1 button Any ideas? Options: Like(FB) +1(G+) Follow(Twitter) Upvote(HN)

How about: -> Take a Bow. -> Something like 'Incline' or derivatives.?

Unless you have something specific to be gained from having a new term, just go with Like. It's something everyone knows and understands. Following is different from liking.

  Ok, using "Like" isn't infringing on anyone's rights, is it?

    You can worry about that once you become big enough to get noticed.

      Done. I'll PM you a link to the site and an overview in a few weeks when we launch.
