But do you know why they chose to like something? With Coke, it's possibly a fair bet that it was because of a competition. But for a local restaurant, even if they've gone there and liked it, that could simply be because they saw a "get a 10% discount on your bill if you like us on Facebook",
- lifeisstillgood 14y agoIts a simple catch-22 - a "like" has no downside cost to me, so I will happily trade it in for 10% of my bill (Hell I wish more UK restaurants did this!) However in the new graph search world (and indeed before this really) the downside cost was that I am seen as a like-whore trading my affections. The more facebook becomes real the more the cost of like will increase. There will be a virtual rate of exchange - as indeed there is today. Some of my friends tell everyone everything, some play their cards close to their chest. I judge their recommendations accordingly. Somehow social graphs need to do the same - and frankly that is pretty easy weighting really.
