As facebook obsessive,
but a blog newbie, there’s something I’m
already missing when blogging, compared to FB.
No <like>
button.
There’s
something very satisfying when you post something on FB and by the end of the
day you have 20+ likes from friends. A little virtual round of applause for
saying something witty, or eminently sensible, or sweet.
I tend to give
out a lot of <likes> on FB. A huge number.
As a teacher, I
guess I equate them to ticks and smiley faces with the red pen, or gold stars, rewarding friends
for a posting well done. If you’re one of my FB friends reading this, you’d
probably agree. I also <like> stuff occasionally to show that I’m reading
someone’s material, that they are not alone and to show them that I care. I do
find it wierd though when someone tells me that they’ve been reading my
postings, and I have had no idea (because of no comments or whatever). I find
it a little unnerving, like someone has been secretly watching or stalking me.
So, to be blunt,
I wish blogger had a <like> button. In lieu of that, give me feedback. Submit
a comment if you liked something. Quite frankly I don’t really care if you don’t
like a post, as I’m writing for my personal pleasure and catharsis as much as
anything. But if you likes what you see, tell me, and I’ll try to write more in
the same vein.
