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.
