'Like' button for comments Closed Thu 12 Apr 2012 10:00AM
FEATURE: Add a 'like' button to comments on motion page.
This feature was suggested in the discussion about adding a feature to promote comments up/down (http://loom.io/motions/43). It was suggested that adding a 'like' button might be a better way to start out.

I hear rich's point - still prefer like over the other options personally

My thumb is starting to engorge just thinking about it.

let's label it "like" for now... with the intent of re-addressing verbiage/functionality later.

Like, +1 and thumbs up

agree with the functionality, disagree with the terminology

In the interests of agnosticism I'd prefer "+1" to "Like". I find in practice 'like' is used to mean many different things, some of them having nothing to do with liking something.

Yeah, you're right. "+1" and "like" mean two separate things. Although +1 isn't really agnostic... it's favored by geeks and has it's own history and connotations. But yeah, sometimes when I click "like" I feel uncomfortable because I'm not necessarily trying to say "I like this".

I'm not too fussed about the terminology personally - can see arguments for and against the each of like, +1 or thumbs up approach. Personally I would go with like because of it's ubiquity in social media - it really just makes yammer and facebook super usable imo.

I should mention that I also plan on implementing a 'delete' button for comments. But I didn't bother creating a motion for it since it's pretty much a no-brainer.
