Why “Like” Is a Four-Letter Word
Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes
“Like” is the four-letter word that outdoes them all.
I’ve been trying to figure out why I reacted so strongly to Facebook’s announcement that their “like” button is the new green.
OK, they didn’t exactly say that, but that’s what it amounts to, doesn’t it?
From now on, you won’t be able to “fan” a page on Facebook, you’ll “like” it. (Hello, Mashable, didn’t you get the memo?) You won’t become the fan of a brand, you’ll “like” it.
