I personally consider Facebook, etc. to be lame wastes of time and consider those buttons tacky and unneeded. It seems a simple browser plugin could still allow Facebookers and Diggers and whomever else the ability to poop back and forth as much as they like while not polluting the web for the rest of us. As it is now we have to pray that some of these sites don't make it...imagine how many buttons there will be in 50 years! EDIT: Just wanted to point out this was not a personal attack. I was just trying to raise awareness that not everyone has the same interests.

> Just wanted to point out this was not a personal attack. I was just trying to raise awareness that not everyone has the same interests. Don't worry, it didn't sound like one :). Thanks for explaining your point of view. I just realized I didn't really stop and think about people who, like you, don't like Facebook et al. Personally, I think I'd be happy to use a browser plugin or whatever, just like I use e.g. Instapaper. Hell, in browser like Conkeror it would be even more convenient (for Instapaper I now just press "C-x i", it's even easier than pressing a button on the address bar).

  I think this method is inevitable. Either that or a protocol/standard to handle them all. As it is now we'll eventually run out of real estate on the screen for 'like' buttons.
