Like is the NEW Share

Posted on Written by

Facebook just announced that they are in the process of changing the function of the like button and making it more like the share button at the same time removing the share button all together.

It seems that Facebook is always changing something that gets the user’s underwear all wadded up.

Twitter works better for me in several ways.  Twitter’s simple design and limitation of 140 character posts just rocks with me personally.    Yes, twitter has few users, but personally I find my Twitter friends to be more delighting.

Yes, I have to stay on Facebook too because many connections are made there but with changes like this, I might be liking less.

One of my dear Facebook friends Kim G commented on my post in Facebook about this:

Dislike. :(. I loved the simple and quiet functionality of the like button, and likewise, the specific and purposeful functionality of the share button. I chose to use them in different ways and for different purposes.

I have to agree with her.

 

10 Things I Could not do if the Internet was turned off in the USA

Dude, Who Cut off the Internet?photo © 2010 Alan Levine | more info (via: Wylio)
1.       Plan what food we are going to eat for the week.  For Meal Planning I use FoodOnTheTable.com

2.       Create new Blog posts. I use self hosted blogger WordPress.org.

3.       Talk on my office phone –It is internet based Voice Over IP- (GoVaughn.com Communications network is powered by Norlight.com soon to be known as Windstream.com

4.       Backup my computer files. I use an online file backup service called Mozy Pro.

5.       Look up information and do service work for  Insurance Clients.  GoVaughn.com Insurance uses a hosted Client Relationship Management software called AMS360 by Vertafore.com.

6.       Order anything from Amazon.com. That actually might be a good thing!

7.       Check the online weather from WeatherUnderground.com.

8.       Keep up with my Twitter friends and Twitter myself.  I twitter at Twitter.com/nibbyp

9.       Listen to online church services.  I really like the service from First Baptist Church Knoxville TN.

10.   Waste time!

Recently I ran across this vintage video from 1994.  We didn’t even know what the internet was or a @ sign was used for on the internet.   Now we can’t in many ways function without it!  Take a look at this cute video featuring a young  Katie Couric & Bryant Gumbel .   They ask “What is the internet?”

What would you not be able to do without the INTERNET today?

Seriously my heart and prayers go to those in Egypt presently who are struggling and do not have internet.  Please pray for CBF Missionaries Duane and Marcia Binkley.  They were in Egypt visiting their son who is a university student.
