A Like button ?

[Marco]

The missus has a like button...

Yes, but that's for an entirely different purpose!

Btw, as it's the second Wednesday of the month, and currently not raining, are you wearing your rubber gimp suit?

The missus has a like button, but I've no idea where it is:

I think you mean a lik button - keep looking, she'll know when you find it!

pfm have introduced a ‘like’ button - I don’t mind it but I don’t think it really adds much.

I like being un-liked, if we end up with a like button can we also have a "Crusty old b*st*rd" button as well

[Macca]

If there was to be a like button should there not also be a hate button? Dialectics 101.

If there is only a like button and I don't press it am I saying I don't like it or am I just indifferent to it or what? How are people supposed to know? So there needs to be a 'meh' button too.

That's the trouble with the internet, nothing has been properly thought through.

[walpurgis]

An 'indifferent' button would probably get the most use, but I'm not sure I'd be interested enough to use it.

[Macca]

I suppose it could be a default. So if you don't like or hate it automatically scores it as indifferent.

I don't know why I'm having to work all this out myself. Wasn't Sir Tim Berners-Lee (or whatever) supposed to do all this already? Invented the internet my arse, at best it's just a quick lash-up.

I reckon that in a dusty forgotten corner somewhere, there's a thirteen amp plug in a wall socket, which if yanked out would bring the entire internet grinding to a halt.

I read somewhere that the boffins say they really need to stop it for at least 24 hours while they sort it out but the frightening thing is that would cause civilisation to crash completely so they can't ever do it. They just have to keep lashing it up.
