I say this on the back of what I am seeing a lot of on Facebook.
people complaining about all the pages out there saying.
"Like" if this is sad.
"like" if it makes you happy.
This is almost spam as facebook made it a "LIKE" button not a "dislike" or a "maybe" button...

What do you think? are company's ruining Facebook???

I only posted as this "Like" craze is going a little mad....

  • I do agree with you Owen they are trying to push the like my page thing down everyone's throat and I am just surprised that facebook hasn't none much to stop ''like spam''

    • Very good point and the commercial spin to it may put people off. I have noticed that lots of people I know are interacting with facebook less and less.

      Plus theres some facebook blindness kicking in, used to be you posted something to your wall and people would be all over it with comments. People dont seem to have the interest in Facebook so much anymore, the novelty has worn off...

      just waiting for the next big thing i suppose
  • I think the "Like" isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
  • Facebook's like button is a great tool for internet marketers. And although you see it everywhere, a lot of internet marketers would be upset if this ever taken away.
  • I agree. It makes my news feed too cluttered and it looks really messy.
  • Yes there is.. you can do a search within here...
  • I think Facebook is in the middle of a major transition. With the further integration of Bing into the search functions will cause the "spam" to be passive. With the push of edgerank and the onset of the engagement levels causes business pages to only see... maybe 16%-20% of the posts from a business anyways?

    If anything it shows Internet Marketers that the "spam" posts from pages thrive off emotions which can be used as a tool.

    My 2 cents. The Like button has become one of the greatest branded functions.
  • That like button isn't for your or my gain. It is a targeting button for face book to gauge the types of advertising readers are subjected to.

    • It is amazing seeing what they really try and do with the advertising engine.
  • There are millions of new users a day. You may think the whole, "like" this cause that or that cause this is corny. You are not who the pages cares about. The people who like are what they care about.

    Also on pages the more interaction you get from a post the more people who will ideally see it. Facebook is the definition of VIRALITY <--- not a real work whatever......

    There is always a method to the madness, while it can be more short sited than other methods. It is still a method.
